The article considers process of fixing the names of the Golden Horde cities in medieval Arabic sources. The materials of the study were Arabic-language writings of XIII–XV centuries. As a result of the study it was noted that there was no stable name of the Golden Horde state. In most cases Arab chroniclers linked the name of the state to the name of the ruler or to a certain geographical location of the Golden Horde state. The information of medieval Arabic works about the Golden Horde cities is fragmentary and descriptive, and does not give a complete picture of a medieval city. Most of the presented information concerns the settled regions of the Golden Horde Empire. Despite the narrative style of the reports about the cities of the Golden Horde, they generally provide information that complements the data of other historical records.
