''Noyan'', ''noyon'' (and some other spellings introduced via Arabic texts; (モンゴル語:ноён)) was a title of authority in the Mongol Empire and later periods. In modern Mongolic the word is used as a form of address similar to "Mister" or "Monsieur". Initially, it was a term for a military commander in the army of Genghis Khan: the term ''noyon'' applied to commanders of ''tumens'' and ''mingghans'', military units of 10,000 soldiers and 1000 soldiers respectively. During conquests, ''noyons'' used to receive territories for administration and they effectively became Mongolian aristocracy, which existed until the 20th century. ''Noyans'' were above the ordinary Mongols in social rank but below the descendants of Genghis and his brothers. They were sometimes called emir or bey in the Ulus of Jochi, the Ilkhanate and the Chagatai Khanate while the Yuan records gave the equivalent as ''guanren'' since their main task was waging warfare. Usually notable persons are referred to with the addition of "Noyan" after the ordinary personal name, similarly to the usage of the title "Khan", e.g., Jebe Noyan, Chormaqan Noyan, Sali Noyan, Karik Noyan and so on. ==After the Mongol Empire== The Qing Dynasty, which ruled Mongolia from 1694 to 1911, entrusted rule in Mongolia to the descendants of Genghis Khan, who were thus called ''noyan''. The term ''noyan'' in this epoch acquired the connotation of nobleman since Mongolia was mostly at peace. After 1921 the word ''darga'' (boss) replaced the aristocratic ''noyan'' as the term for officials.〔C.P.Atwood-Encyclopedia of Mongolia, p.412〕 Many noyans were executed and/or arrested during the Great Purge in Mongolia. 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「Noyan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
