[1] In the Middle Ages, Dodurga (do:durga, first syllable is pronounced longer), was one of the 24 Oghuz tribes.

They appear as Tutırka (Tuvtırka) in Mahmud Kashgari's Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk and in all other similar sources.

Russian historian Karpov noted that most of the Dodurga arrived in Anatolia and the south of Armenia during the Seljuk's conquest of the area in the 11th century AD.

[2] In the 16th century, there were tribes named Dodurga in various parts of Anatolia, specifically in Adana, Tarsus, Kırşehir, Yozgat, Kahramanmaraş, Kocaeli, Bolu, Osmancık (Çorum) and some regions of Ankara.

Another crowded Dodurga community lived between Ulu Yörük and in seven winter quarters in the Turhal region.
