Word origin

The term 'Mongol' originates from the medieval Latin 'Mongolus', which is derived from Old Persian 'Mingul', meaning 'to be brave'. It has been used to refer to the people of Mongolia since at least the 13th century when the Mongol Empire rose to prominence. Mongols played a crucial role in connecting the East and West, as their empire facilitated trade routes that became essential for cultural exchange. The identity of the Mongols is deeply intertwined with their nomadic way of life and rich traditions, including music, dance, and horse riding. The empire declined by the late 14th century, but Mongolian culture and heritage continue to have a strong influence in present-day Mongolia and beyond, with a revival of interest in Mongolian history and traditions in recent years.
