Pok,Pók orPuk is the name of aHungarian kindred (Clan Pok) in theKingdom of Hungary. The first known ancestor of the family was mentioned in 1220 calledMór.[1] Mór participated in theBattle 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.
