SELJUK
Seljuk
Seljuk was the eponymous hero of the Seljuq Turks. He was the son of a certain Toqaq surnamed Temür Yalığ and either the chief or an eminent member from the Kınık tribe of the Oghuz Turks. In 985, the Seljuq clan split off from the bulk of the Tokuz-Oghuz, a confederacy of nine clans long settled between the Aral and Caspian Seas. They set up camp on the right bank of the lower Syr Darya, in the direction of Jend, near Kzyl Orda in present day south-central Kazakhstan. There, in 985, Seljuk converted to Islam.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Seljuk
