I was just wondering what the origin (country) Khan is most likely from.
Thanks.

I think it's from Mongolia or from the Middle East

If I remember correctly, Ghengis khan and Kubla Khan were Mongolians, but don't quote me. :)

Gaia is (as always) on the right track :)
Khan is Mongolian for "ruler".
Khan's unlikely meat 'n' potatos anagram is Hank :P
