Tegin
Turkic title, commonly attachable to the names of the junior members of the Khagan's family / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tegin (Old Turkic: 𐱅𐰃𐰏𐰤, romanized: Tegin, also tigin, MC *dək-gɨn > Pinyin: Tèqín; Chinese: 特勤, erroneously Tèlè 特勒[2][3]) is a Turkic title, commonly attachable to the names of the junior members of the Khagan's family.[4][5][6] However, Ligeti cast doubts on the Turkic provenance by pointing to the non-Turkic plural form tegit.[7]
