The word tenge in the Kazakh and most other Turkic languages means a set of scales. The origin of the word is the Chinese tengse which means balance. The Turkic languages borrowed this word through Mongolian tenkh(e). The name of this currency is thus similar to the lira, pound and peso. The name of the currency is related to the Russian word for money Russian: деньги / den’gi, which was borrowed from Turkic.

Kazakhstan was the one of last countries of CIS to introduce a national currency. In 1991 a "special group" of designers was created: Mendybay Alin, Timur Suleymenov, Asimsaly Duzelkhanov and Khayrulla Gabzhalilov. On November 12, 1993, a decree of the President of Kazakhstan, "About introducing national currency of Republic of Kazakhstan", was issued. On November 15, 1993, the tenge was brought into circulation.

The first consignment of tenge was printed abroad, in the U.K.. The first coins were minted in Germany.
