Jerid (tribe)
Jerid ( tr, Cerit) is a Turkoman tribe inhabiting the provinces of Gaziantep, Kahramanmaraş, Ankara, Çankırı, Balıkesir, and Aydın in Turkey. Etymology The etymological origin of the name of the tribe is disputed. In some parts of Turkey, ''jerid'' means skilled, vivacious, and fast, and it is believed that either the Jerid tribe was associated with these attributes or the term was derived from the tribe instead. It is also proposed that the tribe's name comes from ''jereed'', a traditional sport played with javelins. Likewise, 19th-century traveler William Francis Ainsworth translated the tribe's name as the "short-lance." History Jerid appeared first with the Beylik of Dulkadir in the 14th century, inhabiting the region of Marash and Elbistan. In the 16th century, portions of the tribe spread to the vicinity of Niğde, Kayseri, and Sivas from Marash Sanjak. In late 17th and early 18th centuries, several sub-tribes of Jerid were exiled to Raqqa and Balikh, which portio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eyalet
Eyalets ( Ottoman Turkish: ایالت, , English: State), also known as beylerbeyliks or pashaliks, were a primary administrative division of the Ottoman Empire. From 1453 to the beginning of the nineteenth century the Ottoman local government was loosely structured. The empire was at first divided into states called eyalets, presided over by a beylerbey (title equivalent to duke in Turkish) of three tails (feathers borne on a state officer's ceremonial staff). The grand vizier was responsible for nominating all the high officers of State, both in the capital and the states. Between 1861 and 1866, these eyalets were abolished, and the territory was divided for administrative purposes into vilayets (provinces). The eyalets were subdivided into districts called livas or sanjaks, each of which was under the charge of a pasha of one tail, with the title of mira-lira, or sanjak-bey. These provinces were usually called pashaliks by Europeans. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
