Khanum or Khanoum ((ペルシア語:خانم), (トルコ語:Hanım), (ウルドゥー語:خانم)) is a female royal and aristocratic title derived through an originally East Asian and Central Asian title, and was later used in the Middle East and South Asia It is the feminine equivalent of the title ''Khan'' title for a sovereign or military ruler, widely used by medieval nomadic Mongol tribes living to the north of China. "Khan" is also seen as a title in the Xianbei confederation〔Henning, W. B., 'A Farewell to the Khagan of the Aq-Aqataran',"Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African studies – University of London", Vol 14, No 3, p 501–522〕 for their chief between 283 and 289.〔Zhou 1985, p. 3–6〕 The Rourans were the first people who used the titles khagan and khan for their emperors, replacing the Chanyu of the Xiongnu, whom Grousset and others assume to be Turkic. In Turkish, it is spelled ''Hanım.'' The title of ''Hanımefendi'' is a combination of the words Khanum (tr. ''Hanım'') and efendi. In South Asia, particularly in Punjab, Sindh, Hyderabad, Delhi and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ''Khanum'' has been adapted for use as an honorific for Muslim women of high social status. ==See also== *Begum *Khatun *Bibi (title) *Ai-Khanoum *Bibi-Khanym Mosque *Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khanum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
