Persian

Etymology

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. Doublet of خدا‎, which was inherited; and of خدیو‎ 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.
