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. Related to خدا (xodâ), which was inherited, and to خدیو (xadiv), 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.
