Temujin, who later became known as Genghis Khan, changed his name to Činggis Qaɣan in 1206. He was the founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, which at its peak stretched from the Pacific Ocean to the Black Sea.

Answer 2

Temujin, the founder and first emperor of the Mongol Empire, changed his name to Genghis Khan after he united the warring Mongol tribes into a single powerful confederation in the early 13th century. The name "Genghis" means "an ocean" or "a great" in the Mongolian language, while "Khan" is a title meaning "ruler" or "leader". The name change marked the beginning of Genghis Khan's rise to power and his eventual conquest of much of Eurasia, which earned him a place in history as one of the greatest military commanders of all time.
