Add article description

For the name, see Ayub Khan.

Aepa Khan (Persian: ايوب خان, Tatar: Äyyüb [æɪˈjyp], Russian: Аепа (Ayepa)) (died 1117) was a ruler of the Kipchak commonwealth. He was a grandfather of Andrew the Pious. There is some information about his war against Vladimir Monomach. Later, Kipchakia, still ruled by Ayepa, also attacked Volga Bulgaria in union with the Kievan Rus.

Etymology

Aepa may be a slavicization of the Arab name Ayyub. A recent and more accepted theory reconstructs it to Ayoba or Ayapa (moon-father).[1]
