Etymology edit

Most likely directly from Sogdian 𐼶𐼴𐽂𐼰𐼷𐼻𐼳 (γwtʾynh /⁠xwatēn, xutēn⁠/, queen), or perhaps entered Persian via Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫑𐫀𐫎𐫇𐫗 (xʾṯwn /⁠xātūn⁠/, lady, a Sogdian female title). Ultimately from Proto-Iranian *hwatā́wniH, a feminine form of Proto-Iranian *hwatā́wā. Related to خدا (xodâ), which was inherited, and to خدیو (xadiv), which was borrowed from Bactrian χοαδηο (xoadēo, lord).

Compare Old Turkic 𐰴𐱃𐰆𐰣 (qatun, queen), Common Turkic *xātun, Turkish kadın (woman) Turkish hatun (lady, wife), Karakhanid قاتُونْ (qātūn, noble woman), Iranian borrowings.
