Here is what the Miriam-Webster says about the word "Tatar." It's amazing
what a person can find by opening a dictionary occasionally. :-)
Ta*tar (noun)
[Persian Tatar, of Turkic origin; akin to Turkish Tatar Tatar]
First appeared 1811
1 : a member of any of a group of Turkic peoples found mainly in the Tatar
Republic of Russia and parts of Siberia and central Asia
2 : any of the Turkic languages spoken by the Tatar peoples
Now it becomes a matter of figuring out what herb was unique this region.
