Word origin

The term 'Mongolian' originates from the name of the Mongol people, who were historically known for their vast empire under Genghis Khan in the 13th century. The name 'Mongol' itself is believed to come from the Mongolic word 'mong' which means 'brave' or 'bold.' During the Yuan dynasty, which was established by the Mongols in China, the Mongolian identity began to solidify, leading to greater recognition of their language and culture. In modern usage, 'Mongolian' not only refers to the people of Mongolia but also encompasses their rich cultural heritage, language, and lifestyle that has persisted despite challenges throughout history. As globalization has spread, the Mongolian identity has become more visible on the world stage, showcasing their traditions, art, and unique way of life.
