Title given to important people like Genghis (4)

I believe the answer is:

khan

(Other definitions for khan that I've seen before include "Central Asian title of respect" , "Title of central Asian rulers" , "Ghengis for one" , "Asian ruler (descendant of Genghis?)" , "Central Asian ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
