Abstract :
The word ‘tarqan' has been studied by many scholars. I mention Moravcsik, Golden, Menges Doerfer and others. ‘Tarqan' has generally been interpreted as “a title of nobility”, but no complete consensus has been reached on its analysis. In this contribution, it is my aim to offer the reader some suggestions and to bring some new elements or sources to reflect on this issue again.
