Iberian-Artoces-Turkic-Artuk

 

Ancient Iberia / Georgia
*

There was a king named Artoces.

He was the king of Iberia.

Wiki: "Artoces was a king of Iberia (modern-day Georgia) from 78 to 63 BC."

*

Interesting name.

There is a Turkic commander/chieftain named Artuk. 

Wiki: nown as Artuk Bey, was a Turkmen commander of the Seljuk Empire in the 11th century, chief of the Oghuz tribe of Döğer, and eponymous founder of the Artuqid dynasty.[2][3] His father's name was Eksük. He was the Seljuk governor of Jerusalembetween 1085–1091.

The names are very similar to each other. 

Startling isn't it?

Old Turkic word ARTUK means rather, superior. There are many persons with this name in Turkish History and the most popular one is the Artuk Bey above.
