Banākat, Banākath, Fanākat, or Fanākath was a town on the upper Syr Darya in Transoxiana (present-day Central Asia). The second part of these names, ''kat'' or ''kath'', is an Eastern Iranian (Soghdian) compound meaning ''town''. Its other forms are ''kāt'', ''kāth'', ''kant'', ''kand'' as in Samarkand and Chāchkand (now Tashkent). It is similar to the Persian suffix '-kada'. Banākat was located near Khujand in present-day Tajikistan. At the time of his invasion, Chingis Khan divided his army into four: * one part under Jochi to capture cities around Syr Darya including Khujand and Banākat. * one part under Chagatai and Ögedei to capture Otrar * two other parts under Tolui and himself to capture Samarkand This town was later rebuilt by Timur (Tamerlane) and renamed Shahrukhiya after his son Shahrukh. == Famous people from Banakat == There are several Persians called ''Banākati'' (i.e., of or related to Banākat), some of them born in Banākat and some born elsewhere: * Amir (meaning minister) Ahmad Banākati: (killed 1282 CE / 681 AH), the finance minister and vizier of Qubilai Khan * Mohammad Banākati (in full: Tājeddin Abulfazl Mohammad ibn Mohammad Banākati, died 1283 CE / 682 AH): a Persian religious scholar and father of Davoud and Ali Banākati (see below). * Davoud Banākati (or in full: Abu Sulaimān Fakhreddin Davoud ibn Abulfazl Mohammad Banākati, died 1330 CE / 731 AH): Persian poet and historian who wrote ''Rawzat al-Ulu al-Albāb fi Ma'rifat Tawārikh al-Akābir wa al-Ansāb ((ペルシア語: روضة الوالالباب فی معرفة تاریخ الاکابر والانساب) Garden of the Learned to Know the History of Great Men and Genealogy)''.
