Mahathir wuxuu ku dhashay gurigii waalidkiis oo ku yaal xaafad sabool ah oo ku taal Alor Setar, caasimadda gobolka Kedah, British Malaya, 10kii Luulyo 1925. Aabihiis, Mohamad, wuxuu ahaa arday isku dhafan oo Malay iyo Hindiya ah; hooyadiis, Wan Tempawan, waxay ahayd Malay. Mahathir's non-Malay ancestry, oo uu inta badan aamusay intii uu ku jiray xirfadiisa siyaasadeed, waa astaan ay wadaagaan lixda ra'iisul wasaare ee Malaysia. Laakiin dhinac kale oo ah dhalashadii Mahathir ayaa ka soocay shanta kale: kuma uusan dhalan qoyska aristocracy ama qoys caan ah oo caan ah ama diimeed ama siyaasadeed.
