Name
The Greek cognate of "Tourkia" (Greek: Τουρκία) was used by the scholar and ByzantineEmperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus in his De Administrando Imperio of c. AD 950, though in his use, "Turks" always referred to Magyars. However, although the Magyars do have some Turkic genetic and cultural influence, including their historical social structure being of Turkic origin, they still are not widely considered as part of the Turkic people.
