Shiban (/ˈʃɪbən/; Mongolian: Шибан [ˈɕib̥əɴ]), Siban (Kazakh: Сибан) or Shayban (/ʃaɪˈbɑːn/; Persian: شيبان [ʃæjˈbɒːn]) was a prince of the early Golden Horde, a division of the Mongol Empire.
Shiban participated the Mongol invasion of Europe and made a decisive attack on the army of Béla IV at the Battle of Mohi in 1241.
[1][citation needed] Thus Shiban's lands were somewhat between Batu's and Orda's and between the Ural mountains and the Caspian Sea.
It is merely said that he left twelve sons, namely Bainal or Yasal, Behadur, Kadak, Balagha, Cherik or Jerik, Mergen or Surkhan, Kurtugha or Kultuka, Ayachi or Abaji, Sailghan or Sasiltan, Beyanjar or Bayakachar, Majar, and Kunchi or Kuwinji.
Two sets of Shiban's descendants established themselves in Central Asia, founding the Khanates of Transoxiana (later Bukhara) and Khwarazm (later Khiva).
