Elbegli (Turkish: Elbeyli or İlbeyli) is a Turkoman tribe mainly residing in Kilis, Gaziantep, and Sivas provinces in Turkey. The Alimantar village and Elbeyli district of Kilis were named in the honor of them.[1]
History
The tribe was mainly found around Sivas and Kemah before the Ottoman authorities resettled them near Sajur River[2] during the 17th[1] and 18th[3] centuries. In mid-18th century, Carsten Niebuhr noted that the Elbeglis were 2 thousand tents in total, one half dwelling near Sivas and the other near Aleppo.[4][5] They were noted to be living north of Tadef in Syria by Christian missionaries in 1862.[6]
