Ordu is a port city on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. The province "Ordu" has a population of 858,500 (2000 census).
"Ordu" was the name used for a tent in Turkish and Mongol nomadic tribes. It is from this word that the modern English word "horde" came from, as the nomads travelled in massive groups with a family to each ordu. In Turkey, Ordu literally means an "Army", e.g. Birinci Ordu Komutanligi]](First Army Command) of the Turkish Land Forces. In this context, The Golden Horde translates as "Altin Ordu" or Golden Army.
It still has a significant Pontic Greek minority. Pontic Greeks traditionally live in the area, alongside Turks.
