▲ 1 r/Pashtun
I’m curious if any other Pashtuns with the khan surname heard this growing up. I’m half Pashtun from my dad’s side as he is from Buner. Growing up when people knew I was a khan they’d always say khan is Pathan which I found weird because not every khan is necessarily a Pashtun.
Edit: I am well aware that Pashtuns are not called pathans but I am using the word Pathan to provide context as that’s what I’ve been called
