خاتون• (hatun)
Most likely directly fromSogdian𐼶𐼴𐽂𐼰𐼷𐼻𐼳(γwtʾynh/xwatēn, xutēn/,“queen”), or perhaps entered Persian viaManichaean Middle Persian𐫑𐫀𐫎𐫇𐫗(xʾṯwn/xātūn/,“lady, a Sogdian female title”). Ultimately fromProto-Iranian*hwatā́wniH, a feminine form ofProto-Iranian*hwatā́wā. Related toخدا(xodâ), which was inherited, and toخدیو(xadiv), which was borrowed fromBactrianχοαδηο(khoadēo,“lord”).
