Baig, also commonly spelled Beg, or Begh was a title of Turko-Mongol origin, which is today used as a name to identify lineage. It means Chief or Commander
Beg was also subsequently used as a military rank in the Ottoman Empire
It was also used during the Qing dynasty in China. When the Qing dynasty ruled Xinjiang, it permitted the Turkic Begs in the Altishahr region to maintain their previous status, and they administered the area for the Qing as officials. High-ranking Begs were allowed to wear the Queue.
