Khatun (Mongolian: Хатан, Khatan, (ペルシア語:خاتون) – ''Khātūn'', (ウルドゥー語:خاتون) – ''Khatoon'', (トルコ語:Hatun)) is a female title of nobility and alternative to male "khan" prominently used in the First Turkic Empire and in the subsequent Mongol Empire. It is equivalent to "queen" or "empress" approximately. Before the advent of Islam in Central Asia, Khatun was the title of the Queen of Bukhara. According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam:〔 ''"... Khatun 'is a title of Sogdian origin borne by the wives and female relatives of the Tu-chueh and subsequent Turkish Rulers ..."''〕 British Orientalist Gerard Clauson (1891–1974) considers "''xa:tun''" as borrowed from Sogdian "''xwat'yn''" (''xwateen''), in Sogdian xwat'y ('landlord, sovereign') and "''xwat'yn''" ('a landlord's or a sovereign's wife'); it is the precise wife'; it is the precise meaning of "''xat:un''" in the early period; cf. Pers. In Turkish, it is written as ''Hatun.'' In Urdu, the word 'Khatun' is used commonly to refer to any woman. The female title Khanum is also used as a comparable to Khan. ==Notable Khatuns== * Börte * Töregene Khatun * Doquz Khatun * Buluqhan Khatun * Bulugan * Mandukhai Khatun * Po Beg * Despina Khatun 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「khatun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
