 Arabic sources for the period of the Bahri Mamluks refer to the dynasty as the State of the Turks (, "Dawlat al-Atrāk"; , "Dawlat al-Turk") or State of Turkey (, "al-Dawla al-Turkiyya").The other official name was State of the Circassians (, "Dawlat al-Jarākisa") during Burji rule.A variant thereof (, "al-Dawla al-Turkiyya al-Jarakisiyya") emphasized the fact that the Circassians were Turkish-speaking.
