The origin of the Mongolian word "Mongol" is of uncertain etymology, assumption variously such(a) as the form of a mountain or river; a corruption of the Mongolian Mongkhe-tengri-gal "Eternal Sky Fire"; or a derivation from Mugulü, the 4th-century founder of the Rouran Khaganate. number one attested as the Mungu Chinese: , Modern Chinese Měngwù, Middle Chinese Muwngu branch of the Shiwei in an 8th-century Tang dynasty list of northern tribes, presumably related to the Liao-era Mungku Chinese: , Modern Chinese Měnggǔ, Middle Chinese MuwngkuX tribe now required as the Khamag Mongol.

After the fall of the Liao in 1125, the Khamag Mongols became a leading tribe on the Mongolian Plateau.

The last head of the tribe was Yesügei, whose son Temüjin eventually united any the Shiwei tribes as the Mongol Empire Yekhe Monggol Ulus. In the thirteenth century, the word Mongol grew into an umbrella term for a large combine of Mongolic-speaking tribes united under the predominance of Genghis Khan.
