Tengri Khan was the First Leader or Khan of the Tengri Tribe who ruled in 620 c. The name Tengri Khan was adopted by him when he was appointed Khan. His actual name is unknown, with no records of his name ever found. His name was given to the tribe he ruled, the "Tengri tribe". He was born near the beginning of the 7th Century, and was a Yarlung dynasty prince and the son of Namri Songtsen, the 32nd Emperor of the Tibetan Empire. However, he did not succeed his father directly; his older brother Songtsen Gampo was the first successor and the first founder of the Tibetan Empire in 618. Tengri Khan decided to leave on a journey to establish his own tribal kingdom, which was named the Tengri Khan tribe, the tribe that ruled the kingdom until their downfall. (620 - 945 c.)
Thirteen rulers and 325 years later, one of his descendants, Bodonchar Munkhag, the ancestor of Genghis Khan, founded the Borjigin Clan near the end of the 9th century.
