Etymology

Borrowed from Northeastern Iranian, via Sogdic[2][3] or perhaps Sakan,[4] ultimately from Proto-Iranian *hwatā́wniH, the feminine form of *hwatā́wā (lord, king).

A minority view by Doerfer holds that the word is of Para-Mongolic origin, evidenced by Xianbei , and analyzed by him as cognate with *kagan (khan) and hypothetical feminine suffix *-tun found in Xianbei (/⁠(a)matun⁠/, mother).[5]

Noun
