Yuli County

Etymology

The etymology was discussed in detail in the article *On the Place Name Yuli and Rouran * (尉犁地名和柔然源流考) by Li Shuhui (李树辉).

The name Yuli was postulated to have come from Turkic trk ("one who is stationed; one who stays"), the name of a Turkic clan, and derived from trk(verb form trk, "to be stationed in") + -gir (adjectival suffix).

Both trk and trk were said to be recorded in the ancient dictionary Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk, although the exact Arabic-script forms are unknown, perhaps اُرَكِرْ Üregir, يُرَكِرْ Yüregir, the 15th clan of the Oghuz.
