The Kara is a male name of Hungarian-Turkic origin. It means black (in Hungarian: "fekete"). Ahmed ibn Foszlán mentions this name as the name of one of the clans (kara, kazár), who were the 'kabarok'. At Konstatinos Kara, the seventh Hungarian tribe and Kazar, the eighth tribe were the so called Kara-Kazar tribe. According to some sources the Kara tribe settled down in Transylvania.
