Wasn't Gengis Khan a Mongal rather than Chinese ?, either way I'm afraid not... ok next clue um umm I thought I gave it away last time... hmmmits is a two part name each of three letters, and I believe the first part which is usually accepted as part of his name was infact a title bestowed upon him, though I am not certain of this. I shall check when I have time, and confirm or deny .
