Khan Name Meaning. Muslim: from a personal name or status name based on Turkish khan 'ruler', 'nobleman'. This was originally a hereditary title among Tartar and Mongolian tribesmen (in particular Genghis Khan, 1162–1227), but is now very widely used throughout the Muslim world as a personal name.
Khawaja or khwaja is an honorific title used across the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Central Asia, particularly towards Sufi teachers. The word comes from the Iranian word khwÄja (New Persian khÄje خواجه) and translates as "master", "lord".
