Horde or Orda is exactly a mongolian word which is entered to europian languages. Also russians are using this word as Orda.
Horde or Orda means Palace in Mongolian. In a Mongolian legend Batu Khan used a Golden tent (Mongolians calling it Altan asar or Altan Ord) in the celebrating party for victory over Hungary and Polish. That tent was captured from Hungarian King.

So Batu named his new empire as Altan Orda or Golden Horde.
