Tegin (aka tigin, tiğin, Pinyin: teqin, tiin Chinese: 特勤, erroneously tèlè 鐵勒 ) is a Turkic title, commonly attachable to the names of the junior members of the Khan family. However, Ligeti cast doubts on the Turkic provenance by pointing to the non-Turkic plural form tegit.
History
History records many people carrying the title Tegin, from those noted incidentally to those heading their own states. The best known are Kul Tigin (闕特勤; Queteqin, erroneously 闕特勒; Quētèlè), noted for the stele in his memory in the Orkhon inscriptions; Alp-Tegin, founder of the Ghazni state, which grew into the Ghaznavid Empire; Arslan Tegin and Bughra Tegin, both instrumental in the creation of the Kara-Khanid Kaganate. The Chinese History of the Northern Dynasties states that the Hephthalite emperor of the Gandhara state was from a ruling clan of the neighboring Tegin state. With time, the title tegin became a popular personal name, and now perseveres both as personal and family name, predominantly in the South Asia and Middle East areas.
