Pok, Pók or Puk is the name of a Hungarian kindred (Clan Pok) in the Kingdom of Hungary. The first known ancestor of the family was mentioned in 1220 called Mór. [1] Mór participated in the Battle of Mohi. [1] 88 domains are known as Clan Pok possessions in the Kingdom of Hungary. [1] The Puky, Mórocz and Meggyesi families belong to this genus. [1] The clan might be of Pecheneg origin, as the name of the genus has been etymologized to "dung" or "rubbish" according to Vámbéry. Similarly, a sub-clan of Turkmens is called "Pokli". Otherwise it may be related to Persian pāk "pure" through Turkic mediation.
