汉（汗）人称谓演进路线：“亚伯拉罕”--“阿爸可汗”--“汗”--“汉（汗）”
圣经（创世纪）
25:1 亚伯拉罕又娶了一妻、名叫基土拉、
25:2 基土拉给他生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴、和书亚。
25:3 约珊生了示巴、和底但。底但的子孙、是亚书利族、利都是族、和利乌米族。
25:4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大、和以勒大。这都是基土拉的子孙。
25:5 亚伯拉罕将一切所有的都给了以撒。
25:6 亚伯拉罕把财物分给他庶出的众子、趁着自己还在世的时候、打发他们离开他的儿子以撒往东方去。
亚伯拉罕与基土拉的后代到了东方（今天中国北方），唐朝之前中国人自称“阿爸可汗（亚伯拉罕）”的后代，汉（汗）朝自称是“可汗（汉）”后代（木兰辞中：昨夜见军帖，可汗大点兵），汉（汗）后北方中国人自称汉（汗）名字。南方中国为了区分自己，把自己称为“唐人”。

可汗叫khan 跟Abraham 没一毛钱关系 wiki说这一称号最早源自鲜卑柔然
Khan" is first encountered as a title in the Xianbei confederation[8] for their chief between 283 and 289.[9] The Rourans may have been the first people who used the titles khagan and khan for their emperors.[10] However, Russian linguist Alexander Vovin (2007)[4] believes that the term qaγan originated among the Xiongnu people, who were Yeniseian-speaking (according to Vovin), and then it diffused across language families. Subsequently, the Göktürks adopted the title and brought it to the rest of Asia. In the middle of the sixth century the Iranians knew of a "Kagan – King of the Turks".[8]
Various Mongolic and Turkic peoples from Central Asia gave the title new prominence after period of the Mongol Empire (1206–1368) in the Old World and later brought the title "khan" into Northern Asia, where locals later adopted it. Khagan is rendered[by whom?] as Khan of Khans. It was the title of Chinese Emperor Emperor Taizong of Tang (Heavenly Khagan, reigned 626 to 649)[11] and Genghis Khan's successors selected to rule the Mongol Empire starting from 1229. Genghis Khan himself was referred as qa'an (khagan) only posthumously.[12] For instance Möngke Khan (reigned 1251–1259) and Ogedei Khan (reigned 1229–1241) would be "Khagans" but not Chagatai Khan, who was not proclaimed ruler of the Mongol Empire by the Kurultai.
