| Portrait | Temple names | Posthumous names | Khan Names | Given names | Period of Reigns | Era names and their according range of years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Convention: use first name (e.g. Temüjin) or Khan names for khans before Kublai Khan. Use "Yuan" + temple name or posthumous name after. A mix of the three for Kublai Khan. | ||||||
| Notes: 1) Before Kublai Khan announced the dynastic name "Great Yuan" (大元) in 1271, Khagans (Great Khans) of the Mongol Empire (Ikh Mongol Uls) already started to use the Chinese title of Emperor (皇å¸) practically in the Chinese language since Genghis Khan. 2) To non-Chinese readers, usually the khan names are the most familiar names. 3) Timur or Temür means the same Mongolian words but Temür will be used for avoiding confusion with Timur the lame, or Tamerlane. | ||||||
