Why is the Maccabee family also called the Hasmonean family?

The Maccabee family is also referred to as the Hasmonean family because the name is derived from their ancestor, Hasmoneus (also known as Hasmon or Asamonaios).123

While the family is famously associated with the Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid dynasty, the term Hasmonean specifically identifies the hereditary dynasty that was established following the success of the revolt. Simon Maccabeus, a son of Mattathias, became the first ruler of this dynasty, serving as high priest and ethnarch of Judaea.12
