In contemporary Persian, Armenian and Muslim writings, and in the records of the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries such as the Yuanshi and the Jami' al-tawarikh, the khanate was called the 'Ulus of Jochi' ('realm of Jochi' in Mongolian), 'Dasht-i-Qifchaq' (Qipchaq Steppe) or 'Khanate of the Qipchaq' and 'Comania' (Cumania). The first known use of the term, in 1565, in the Russian chronicle History of Kazan, applied it to the Ulus of Batu (Russian: РЈР»СѓСЃР° Р‘Р°С‚С‹СЏ), centered on Sarai. It was not until the 16th century that Russian chroniclers begin explicitly using the term 'Golden Horde' to refer to this particular successor khanate of the Mongol Empire. The Turkic word orda means 'palace', 'camp' or 'headquarters', in this case the headquarters of the khan, being the capital of the khanate, metonymically extended to the khanate itself. The name Golden Horde, a partial calque of Russian Р—РѕР»РѕС‚Р°СЏ РћСЂРґР° (ZolotГЎja OrdГЎ), itself supposedly a partial calque of Turkic Altan Orda, is said to have been inspired by the golden color of the tents the Mongols lived in during wartime, or an actual golden tent used by Batu Khan or by Uzbek Khan, or to have been bestowed by the Slavic tributaries to describe the great wealth of the khan. The Crimean Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate, the last remnants of the Golden Horde, survived until 17 respectively.ДЇurther information: Wings of the Golden Horde These internal struggles allowed the northern vassal state of Muscovy to rid itself of the ' Tatar Yoke' at the Great Stand on the Ugra River in 1480. Within its territories there emerged numerous predominantly Turkic-speaking khanates.

By 1466, it was being referred to simply as the ' Great Horde'. At the start of the 15th century, the Horde began to fall apart. However, soon after the 1396 invasion of Timur, the founder of the Timurid Empire, the Golden Horde broke into smaller Tatar khanates which declined steadily in power. The khanate experienced violent internal political disorder beginning in 1359, before it briefly reunited (1381вЂ“1395) under Tokhtamysh. The territory of the Golden Horde at its peak extended from Siberia and Central Asia to parts of Eastern Europe from the Urals to the Danube in the west, and from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea in the south, while bordering the Caucasus Mountains and the territories of the Mongol dynasty known as the Ilkhanate. The Horde's military power peaked during the reign of Uzbeg Khan (1312вЂ“1341), who adopted Islam.

ДЄfter the death of Batu Khan (the founder of the Golden Horde) in 1255, his dynasty flourished for a full century, until 1359, though the intrigues of Nogai instigated a partial civil war in the late 1290s. It is also known as the Kipchak Khanate or as the Ulus of Jochi. With the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire after 1259 it became a functionally separate khanate.
