Turco-Mongol or Turko-Mongol is a word that has been used in history that describes people or culture derived from Turkic people and the Mongols, hence "Turkic-Mongol." For instance, Tamerlane who was considered Turkic probably had Mongol blood and Babur is also considered "Turco-Mongol." The term probably originated as a result of the expansion of the Mongol Empire throughout much of Asia including the Middle East and through its successor Muslim and Turkic khanates like Ilkhanate and Chagatai Khanate that had the Mongols, who eventually got intermarried and settled with the location populations. It also can include those people's childrens and grandchildrens that identified more with the culture within which they were brought up.
