Answer:

universal ruler

The honorary title Genghis Khan is possibly derived from the Turkic tengiz, meaning sea, making his title literally "oceanic ruler", interpreted figuratively as "universal ruler".

Step-by-step explanation:

Born Temujin, he acquired the title of Genghis Khan, likely meaning 'universal ruler', after unifying the Mongol tribes.

Genghis Khan was the founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, so you probably just have to write about him.
