Küresünni

Küresünni is a Turkic tribe that inhabits the territory of Salmas, Urmia, Khoy,  Maku in Iran and Van Province in Turkey. It is believed that they descend from Chepni tribesmen who were settled in the region by the Ottoman Empire to serve against the Qizilbash. Küresünni, from the Shafi'i madh'hab, continue to be fervent Sunnis. In the southwest of Khoy, there are Kurdicized groups of Küresünni Turks.

Etymology
The term Küresünni is thought to have originated as an exonym used by Kurds and Shiites in Iran meaning donkey Sunni. Despite being an ethnic slur, this exonym became the name of the group, as most Küresünni tribesmen didn't know its meaning.
