There is then the Yadava Dynasty, to which Sri Krishna belongs.The Dynasty is named after Yadu. ‘Yadu is one of the five Indian tribes (panchajana, panchakrishtya or panchamanusha) mentioned in the Rig Veda. Krishna is the descendant of Yadu from Vedic tribe’https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yadu

An interesting fact is that Sri Rama’s ancestor, Mandhata was married to a Yadu princess.
