Central State Museum of Kazakhstan.]] Chanyu () or Shanyu (), short for Chengli Gutu Chanyu (), was the title used by the supreme rulers of Inner Asian nomads for eight centuries until superseded by the title "Khagan" in 402 AD. The title was most famously used by the ruling Luandi clan of the Xiongnu during the Qin dynasty (221–206 BC) and Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). It was later also used infrequently by the Chinese as a reference to Tujue leaders.

Jinong () was a title of the Mongols. It was derived from Chinese Jinwang (, a title for crown prince, similar to Prince of Wales) although some historians have suggested it originates from Qinwang (). Whatever its relation with the Chinese title, the Mongol title was rendered in Chinese as "jinong" () or "jinang" ().
