Uzumasa meant Turkic Uzbek?

      By the way, the title, Uzumasa, conferred by the Tennou reminds us of the tribe name of Uzbek, a Turkic people, settling spaciously in the Central Asia. Some who turn their attentions to this phonetic similarity between Uzumasa and Uzbek have insisted that the Hata clan came from somewhere beyond the Altai Mountains along the Silk Road. The name, however, Uz means “self” in the Turkic language and the name of the nation, Uzbek derived from Uzbek Khan, who was a khan of the Golden Horde in 13^th century and adopted Islam as a state religion. So it is doubtful that in 5^th century Uz indicated the native name of the Hata clan.
