"Kagyu" literally means nothing other but "oral transmission". That being the case one could call any lineage that transmits its teachings orally a "Kagyu lineage", e.g. the "Jonang Kagyu" or "Ganden Kagyu", etc.<br><br>
Nowadays the name "Kagyu" refers most often to the [[Shangpa Kagyu]] and [[Dakpo Kagyu]] schools. The Shangpa Kagyu was introduced into Tibet by the master [[Khyungpo Naljor]] (990-1139), while the school that was to develop into the [[Dakpo Kagyu]] traditions, was introduced to Tibet by the great [[Lotsawa]] [[Marpa]] ([[mar pa lo tsa ba chos kyi blo gros]]) (1012-1097/9) and his student [[Milarepa]] ([[mi la ras pa]]) (1040-1123). Milarepa's student [[Gampopa]] ([[sgam po pa]]) (1079-1153) later fused the teachings of Marpa with teachings he had received in the [[Kadampa]] ([[bka' gdams pa]]) lineage of [[Atisha]] ([[jo bo rje dpal ldan a ti sha]]) (982-1054). The lineages stemming from Gampopa came to be known as the [[Dakpo Kagyu]] ([[dwags po bka' brgyud]]; a common epithet for Gampopa being Dakpo Lharje ([[dwags po lha rje]], "the physician from Dakpo"). The Dakpo Kagyu developed into the so-called four greater and eight smaller Kagyu schools. The "four greater" lineages were established by direct disciples of Je Gampopa and his nephew and dharma heir [[Dakpo Gomtsul]] [[Tsultrim Nyingpo]] ([[dwags po sgom tshul tshul khrims snying po]]) (1116-1169), while the "eight smaller" ones were founded by students of [[Phagmo Drupa]] [[Dorje Gyalpo]] ([[phag mo gru pa rdo rje rgyal po]]) (1110-1170), one of the four main students of Gampopa.
 
The [[Four Greater Kagyu lineages]] ([[bka' brgyud che bzhi]]):
 
The Kamtshang or [[Karma Kagyu]] ([[karma bka' brgyud]]) founded by the [[1st Karmapa]] [[Dusum Khyenpa]] ([[dus gsum mkhyen pa]]) (1110-1193), the [[Barom Kagyu]] ([['ba' rom bka' brgyud]]) founded by [[Darma Wangchuk]] ([[sdar ma dbang phyug]]) (1127-1199), the [[Tsalpa Kagyu]] ([[tshal pa bka' brgyud]]) founded by [[Zhang Yudragpa Tsöndrü Drakpa]] ([[zhang g.yu brag brtson 'grus grags pa]]) (1123-1193), and the [[Phagdru Kagyu]] ([[phag gru bka' brgyud]]) founded by [[Phagmo Drupa]] [[Dorje Gyalpo]] ([[phag mo grub pa rdo rje rgyal po]]) (1110-1170).
 
The [[Eight Smaller Kagyu lineages]] ([[bka' brgyud chung brgyad]]):
