Erè / Ê-je
The page relays a quotation attributed by Xingshi Kaolue to the Tangshu biography of the Uyghurs: the Kyrgyz claimed descent from Li Ling, their ruler was called “Are,” and they consequently used Are as a surname while maintaining their royal encampment at Qingshan. Descent from Li Ling is explicitly only their own claim, and the passage is a secondary quotation.
The source describes Are as a historical compound surname of the Daibei region and says it is included in Xu Tongzhi: Shizu Lue; this is the webpage compiler's account, without demonstrated direct verification of the original text.
