Qiniq

1. Oghuz Turkic (or Turkmen) tribe: 

Qiniq (Azerbaijani: Qınıq; Turkish: Kınık; Turkmen: Gynyk; Persian: قنق) also spelled Qïnïq, Qynyk or Qynyq, was an Oghuz Turkic (or Turkmen) tribe.

According to Islam Encyclopaedia, Kınık means "Great everywhere". Qiniq is historically notable because the Seljuk Empire was founded by the representatives of the Qiniq tribe.

Most of the Qiniq migrated to Anatolia during the reign of the Seljuk Empire and the Mongol Invasion in the 13th century. In the Ottoman official records of the 16th century, there were 81 settlements named Kınık.

Although they have been largely absorbed by other Oghuz tribes throughout the history, there are still many settlements which bear the name Kınık. 

Descendants of the Qiniq tribe formed the Soltanyz and Üçurug clans, which are now subdivisions of the Turkmen tribe of Tekke.

The Turkmen clan of Gabyrdy is believed to descend from Kara Arslan Ahmad Qavurt who belonged to the Qinik tribe and was a military commander and a son of Chaghri Beg, the co-ruler of the early Seljuk Empire
