In the 10th century, Al-Balkhi wrote about Bashkirs as a people, divided into two groups, one of which inhabited the Southern Urals, while the other lived near the Danube River, close to the boundaries of Byzantium.
The folk interpretation of the name suggests an etymology related to the legend regarding the migration of the first seven Bashkir tribes from the Syr-Darya valley to the Volga-Ural region.
