The Nogai Horde waiic-Caspian steppe from about 1500 until they are pushed west by the Kalmyks and south by the Russians in the 17th century.

"Nogai" is probably more of an ethnonym than an ethnic group.

The Nogais, Golden Horde, the Cumans and the Kipchaks, and possibly Pechenegs, Avars and Khazars are largely the same population with a different ruling group and slightly different dominant language and therefore a different name.

They are named after Nogai Khan.
