Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain. Inherited from Old Burmese တရုက် (taruk), with earliest usage dating to A.D 1100 (Bagan era),[1]during which it referred to the territory and a variety of peoples to the north and northeast of Burma. May be derived from 突厥 (Tūjué), the Chinese term for "Turk;" 大理 (dàlǐ), the capital of the Nanzhao Kingdom; or 大月支 (dàyuèzhī) or 大月氏, a Chinese term referring to Mongol-speaking Kushan Huns.
