I think there are (at least) 2 different uses of the word. The first is as certain model structures whose fibrations give rise to a model of type theory. In the old days these were called "categories with display maps" which have got rebaptized by Joyal as "tribes" which is a nice name since it's about families which interact in a certain way. Another use seems to be for particular model structures on categories (of presheaves) whose fibrations provide a model of type theory. Sometimes, e.g. for simplicial and cubical sets these are minimal Cisinski model structures where "minimal" means "fewest anodyne cofibrations", typically generated by open box inclusions. But not every (minimal) Cisinski model structure provides a model of type theory and, thus, it is not at all a good idea to call them "type-theoretic model structues".

In particular, a tribe is defined by *finitary* structure and operations, and can be small (e.g. the syntactic category of type theory is a tribe), whereas a model category is necessarily large, with infinitary colimits and so on. Also, a model category (usually) contains non-fibrant objects, whereas a tribe doesn't. So we do need two different terms. In my paper "Univalence for inverse diagrams and homotopy canonicity" I referred to them as "type-theoretic model categories" and "type-theoretic fibration categories" respectively. Nowadays the momentum seems to be with "tribe" for the latter, which among other advantages is eleven syllables shorter. If we want to maintain some terminological parallelism and avoid confusion with Sattler/Cisinski model structures, we could start referring to the former as "tribal model categories". Note by the way that whatever we call these model categories, there is not (at the moment) really a unique definition of them, but a collection of properties that tend to be added or subtracted as needed (some are listed at https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/type-theoretic+model+category).

So tribes/display map cats are more general model cats, isn't it? As a model of type theory I don't see any need to have infinitary axioms as are common in model cats.

(A tribe is not just a display map category; it also has the categorical structure corresponding to identity types.) For purposes of modeling type theory, the non-fibrant objects are of course irrelevant, since every concrete context does have a chain of display maps to 1. And yes, of course, one doesn't need infinitary structure to model type theory; as I said, that's one of the differences between a tribe and a type-theoretic model category, that the latter has infinitary structure but the former doesn't.

Sorry, my parenthetical was intended to mention *another* way in which tribes are more specific than display map categories, since you seemed to be conflating the two. I think a clan is just a display map category in which all objects are fibrant. A tribe adds to this a weak factorization system suitable for modeling identity types.
