No, Khan has originally a turkic-mongolian root. It is not about islam, even the emperor of China was referred to as Khaghan, by us, in the medieval times.
Al-Musavi >> descendant of Imam Mousa Kazim
Al-Husayni >> descendant of Imam Hussain
Alavi >> sometimes descendant of Imam Ali
Al-Hasani >> descendant of Imam Hasan
Al-Razavi >> descendant of Imam Reza
Tabatabai >> Both of your parents are Sayyid
Sayid >> Your father is a descendants of Shia Imams
Mirza >> Your Mother is a descendants of Shia Imams
having two of these titles, means that you have both connection to shia Imams
Because they were Sayyids?
Oh no mate I wasn't saying Khan was an Islamic title I meant that throwing titles calling yourself brave or a champion etc was things Muslim rulers used to do all the time. Bahadur Khan's literal meaning would be the brave king or the brave ruler so that is what I meant.
That I already knew that Khan and Khagan were Turko-Mongol titles although I think it began with the Mongols before it became a popular title. I am actually shocked that some of the Turkish members over here did not already knew that and you had to explain it to them, thought it was pretty common knowledge.
The bold is something I have never seen before, the rest are the same in Pakistan as well accept Razavi is Rizvi and then we have two ones not found in Iran afaik which is Gilani and Naqvi both of why are entirely Sunni Syed families.
I read somewhere that they made it up.
