Tatars (Kimek)

The Tatar (Arabic: Tatār‎) was a Turkic tribe or clan. They were one of seven original tribes that made up the Kimek confederation. They originated from the Central Asian steppes.

The Tatar were one of seven original tribes that made up the Kimek confederation, along with the Īmī, Īmāk, Bayāndur, Khifchāq, Nilqāz and Ajlad. The Tatār were the third in order.[1] The Kimek tribes originated in the Central Asian steppes, and had migrated to the territory of present-day Kazakhstan.[2] The Tatar, as part of the Kimek, were mentioned by Gardizi (d. 1061).[3]

According to R. Fakhroutdinov, these Tatars 'were a branch of the ancient Tatar population that went to the west after the collapse of the Eastern Turkic kaganate'.[4]
