The earliest record of Tuvan is from the early 19th century by ''Wūlǐyǎsūtái zhìlüè'' ({{zh|c=烏里雅蘇台志略}}), [[Julius Klaproth]] 1823, [[Matthias Castrén]] 1857, [[Nikolay Katanov]], [[Vasily Radlov]], etc.<ref>{{harvp|Todoriki|2011|pages=234–230}}</ref>

The name Tuva goes back as early as the publication of ''[[The Secret History of the Mongols]]''. The Tuva (as they refer to themselves) have historically been referred to as Soyons, Soyots or Uriankhais.<ref name="Mawkanuli 2001" />
