The Ghurids were a Turko-Afghan dynasty that ruled the eastern Islamic world from their capital at Ghur (in present-day Afghanistan) between 1146 and 1212 CE. They came to power after the collapse of the Ghaznavid Empire and established a vast empire that extended from the Indus River to the borders of China.

The name 'Ghur' is believed to possibly derive from the Turkish word for 'fortress' or 'garrison'. The Ghurids likely took their name from their capital city, which was strategically located in a mountainous region and served as a strong military base.
