I can only think of the Legend of Arslan. A Japanese novel from the late 80's. It existed quite a long time.

Several historical names are in the list of randomly generated names. For example, you'll see "fake" Abbasid dynasties, and if you convert counties to Frankish culture, you'll see multiple "fake" Merovingian dynasties.

Sadly, he died just a few months after I made him my Court Poet...
Sadly, the sand of his time end
As the autumn leaves scatter the wind
Death is not the end
Death is the beggining

I think this was too much for him... but no, There's no dynasty clled Burid in history the Alp Arslan historically is the ruler of the Seljuk Turkish

Name "Alp Arslan", like any other name of historical character, is... just a name. And any character of same culture can get it. In fact generic Alp Arslan is not so funny, like generic Edit Swan Neck.
