Samanids

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Samanids 

a feudal dynasty in Middle Asia; ruled from A.D. 819 to 999. The name of the dynasty is derived from Saman-khuda, who came from the village of Saman near Balkh in northern Afghanistan. The sons and grandsons of Saman, for their help in suppressing the anti-Arab rebellion of Rafi ibn Leis (806–810), received the right to govern the most important areas of Mavera-un-Nahr. The Samanid dynasty came to an end with Mansur II (997–999), after the Turkic tribes took Bukhara in 999.
