Historical scholarship confirms that the Seljuk branch in Anatolia adopted the name 'Rum' (Rome), reflecting their dominion over former Byzantine territories and their integration into the political landscape of the region.

The term 'Rum' directly derives from the Arabic and Islamic designation for the Byzantine Roman Empire, demonstrating the Seljuks' self-identification and territorial claim associated with Rome.
