Chughtai

This is a Family name/clan in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the associated diaspora) that claims descent from Chagatai Khan, and thus status as a Chagatai Turk. The names of (especially) male members of the clan often carry the prefix Mirza and the suffix Beg, and are thus usually of the form Mirza <given name> Beg. The Mughal Emperors of India claimed to be of the same lineage. Babur consciously made a decision to drop the Mirza from his name. The names of minor, and some times even major, princes of the dynasty continued to carry the prefix and/or the suffix. The nomenclature is common today. For example, Mirza Aslam Beg was a recent Chief of Army Staff in Pakistan. Modern variations include the use of Beg or even Mirza as a family name. The family name Chughtai is also used.
