Its native name was Crimean Tatar: Qırım Yurtu, قريم يورتى (Ottoman Turkish and Arabic :خانية القرم). Its khans were the patrilineal descendants of Toqa Temür, the thirteenth son of Jochi and grandson of Genghis Khan. This khanate was by far the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.
