List of emperors

Portrait Name by which most commonly known Temple name Posthumous name Khan name Given name Lifespan Period of reign Era name 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" in 1271, khagans (Great Khans) of the Mongol Empire (Ikh Mongol Uls) already started to use the Chinese title of emperor (Chinese: 皇帝; pinyin: Huángdì) practically in the Chinese language since Genghis Khan (as 成吉思皇帝; 'Genghis Emperor').
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.
