Qungrat

Also known as Kungrad, Qongrat

The Qungrat are a Turkic tribe of Central Asia, descended from the Mongol Qongirat of the 13th century. Within the Golden Horde and the later Uzbek confederation they were powerful in Khwarazm: the Sufid dynasty of the 14th century sprang from them, and the Qungrat dynasty ruled the Khanate of Khiva from 1804 until 1920.
