KHAN (from the Turki, hence Persian and Arabic Khan)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 771 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KHAN (from the Turki, hence Persian and Arabic Khan) , a title of respect in
Mahommedan
  countries. It is a contracted form of khagan (khakan), a word equivalent to sovereign or emperor, used among the Mongol and Turki-
nomad
  hordes. The title
khan
  was assumed by Jenghis when he became supreme ruler of the Mongols; his successors became known in Europe as the
Great
  Khans (sometimes as the Chams, &c.) of Tatary or Cathay.
Khan
  is still applied to semi-independent rulers, such as the khans of Russian
Turkestan
 , or the khan of Kalat in
Baluchistan
 , and is also used immediately after the name of rulers such as the sultan of Turkey; the meaning of the
term
  has also extended downwards, until in Persia and Afghanistan it has become an affix to the name of any
Mahommedan
 
gentleman
 , like
Esquire
 , and in India it has become a part of many Mahommedan names, especially when Pathan descent is claimed. The title of Khan Bahadur is conferred by the British government on Mahammedans and also on Parsis.
