1. ToumanTouman – was the earliest known Xiongnu chanyu (匈奴單于), reigning from c. 220 to 209 BCE. The name Touman is likely related to Middle Chinese *muan, West Tokharian t(u)māne, Old Turkic/Mongolian tümen, Modern Persian tumân, all meaning '10,000', a myriad). By the time the Qin Dynasty conquered the other six states and began its reign over a unified China in 221 BCE, the nomadic Xiongnu had grown into a powerful invading force in the north and started expanding both east and west.
