The Terter or Terteroba (Bulgarian and ) was a Cuman–Kipchak tribe or clan that took refuge in Hungary and then Bulgaria in the mid-13th century and may have produced the Terter dynasty that eventually ruled Bulgaria.
According to Pritsak, Terter is derived from a tributary of the Kura River in the Southern Caucasus. Peter Golden considers this a conjecture which, while possible, does not seem to be in keeping with most other Cuman-Kipchak names in which geographical referents are usually absent. The Qangli may be an exception. In the Russian annals, they were known as Ter'trobiči. In Arabic, they may have been called Durut. Golden etymologizes terter < teriter < terit- "to sweat".
