a title so loaded it ruled empires and now sells curry online.
means A title of sovereignty or rank, originally for rulers and chieftains across Central and East Asia, now also a common surname and an honorific borne by millions.
from From Turkic and Mongol 'khan' (or 'qan'), meaning ruler or chief, with the grander form 'khagan' meaning khan of khans — the title Genghis and his heirs carried as they stitched together the largest land empire in history. It rode westward along trade and conquest routes into Persian and into many South Asian languages, where it settled as a widespread surname and honorific. The English 'khan' is borrowed straight from these, with the Persian connection carrying it especially far.
