Etymology

From Old Turkic joγurqan ‎(“blanket”). This, in turn, appears to be a substantivized past participle from a verbal stem *yoğur-, however unattested with any related semantic value.

Cognate with Khakas чорған ‎(çorğan), Southern Altai jууркан ‎(ǰuurkan), Kyrgyz жууркан ‎(cuurkan), жуурткан ‎(cuurtkan), Azeri yorğan ‎(“blanket”), etc.
