Just curious: Why do I only find Dutch web sites when googling for Ertogrül? Is there an alternative spelling? -- JeLuF 20:47 Apr 24, 2003 (UTC)

His name is spelled "Ertuğrul" in modern Turkish.

Ertuğrul's father was named Gündüz Alp. Süleyman was attributed in later centuries seeking a claim to the inheritence of Süleyman Şah bin Qutalmış, founder of the Selçuq-Rûm dynasty. Ref. Oğuznâme, Tevârih-i Âl-i Osman. Compare with Uzunçarşılı, İ.H

I moved the above here since it wasn't really encyclopedic. I have renamed the page Ertugrul but I do not understand your claim that his father wasn't Süleyman. According to this site Ertuğrul had a son named Gündüz Alp, but his father was Süleyman. Süleyman Ibn Kutalmish died in 1086 in Anatolia, while Süleyman, the father of Ertuğrul, fled Central Asia from the Mongol onslaught in the 1220s. –The Phoenix 08:03, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The previous text must be replaced as it is recently proved by a historical document that the father of Ertugrul Gazi is Gunduz Alp. It can be confirmed at Islam Ansiklopedisi (Islamic Encyclopedia) published by Turkiye Diyanet Vakfi Islam Arastirmalari Merkezi which is an official scientific institute.
