When young Temujin was 9-12, his father was murdered and, being the oldest child, was now made into the new Chieftain of the Kiyad and a nöker (vassal) of Ong Khan of the Kerait tribe.  \n\nThe rest, is history.

If the summary I posted below is confusing, search it on google, yahoo, or wikipedia.org.\n\nThe nomads of Inner Asia have remained a subject of fascination and controversy into modern times: the stereotype of barbarians who were both feared and despised, or romantically portrayed as wild and free by those who admired them. However, most histories fail to make the region and its people comprehensible. These accounts consist of seemingly random events presented chronologically, with one obscure tribe following another. When the nomads did make an appearance on the stage of world history by invading their neighbours, such events were treated as a form of natural history, like a plague of locusts.

Polo's family were merchant traders, a fairly high social class.  Nothing like kings or nobles, but well thought of by society, and with fair amounts of money at their disposal.

Genghis Khan was taller!\n\nSeriously thought, Alexander did what he did out of personal ego and really didn't care about building a great society, he only wanted to make a mark as a Master of War!\n\nNapoleon at least had some ideas concerning Laws and domestic policy but Empire was again his egotistical motivation.\n\nKhan was a tribal Prince that saw his Father murdered by neighbor warlords and so beyond revenge, he had motivations that sought to improve society as a whole and so his family remainded in power for 250 years!

all you need is here:\n\nWhen Genghis Khan died, a major potential weakness of the system he had set up manifested itself. It took many months to summon the kurultai, as many of its most important members were leading military campaigns thousands of miles from the Mongol heartland. And then it took months more for the kurultai to come to the decision that had been almost inevitable from the start — that Genghis's choice as successor, his third son Ögedei, should have became Great Khan. Ögedei was a rather passive ruler and personally self-indulgent, but he was intelligent, charming and a good decision-maker whose authority was respected throughout his reign by apparently stronger-willed relatives and generals whom he had inherited from Genghis.\n\nOn Ögedei's death in 1241, however, the system started falling apart. Pending a kurultai to elect Ögedei's successor, his widow Toregene Khatun assumed power and proceeded to ensure the election of her son Guyuk by the kurultai. Batu was unwilling to accept Guyuk as Great Khan, but lacked the influence in the kurultai to procure his own election. Therefore, while moving no further west, he simultaneously insisted that the situation in Europe was too precarious for him to come east and that he could not accept the result of any kurultai held in his absence. The resulting stalemate lasted four years. In 1246 Batu eventually agreed to send a representative to the kurultai but never acknowledged the resulting election of Guyuk as Great Khan.\n\nGuyuk died in 1248, only two years after his election, on his way west, apparently to force Batu to acknowledge his authority, and his widow Oghul Ghaymish assumed the regency pending the meeting of the kurultai; unfortunately for her, she could not keep the power. Batu remained in the west but this time gave his support to his and Guyuk's cousin, Möngke, who was duly elected Great Khan in 1251.\n\nMöngke Khan unwittingly provided his brother Kublai with a chance to become Khan in 1260, assigning Kublai to a province in North China. Kublai expanded the Mongol empire and became a favorite of Möngke. Kublai's conquest of China is estimated by Holworth, based on census figures, to have killed over 18 million people. \n\nLater, though, when Kublai began to adopt many Chinese laws and customs, his brother was persuaded by his advisors that Kublai was becoming too Chinese and would become treasonous. Möngke kept a closer watch on Kublai from then on but died campaigning in the west. After his older brother's death, Kublai placed himself in the running for a new khan against his younger brother, and, although his younger brother won the election, Kublai defeated him in battle, and Kublai became the last true Great Khan.\n\nHe proved to be a strong warrior, but his critics still accused him of being too closely tied to Chinese culture. When he moved his headquarters to Beijing, there was an uprising in the old capital that he barely staunched. He focused mostly on foreign alliances, and opened trade routes. He dined with a large court every day, and met with many ambassadors, foreign merchants, and even offered to convert to Christianity if this religion was proved to be correct by 100 priests.\n\nBy the reign of Kublai Khan, the empire was already in the process of splitting into a number of smaller khanates. After Kublai died in 1294, his heirs failed to maintain the Pax Mongolica and the Silk Road closed. Inter-family rivalry (compounded by the complicated politics of succession, which twice paralyzed military operations as far off as Hungary and the borders of Egypt (crippling their chances of success), and the tendencies of some of the khans to drink themselves to death fairly young (causing the aforementioned succession crises), hastened the disintegration of the empire.\n\nAnother factor which contributed to the disintegration was the decline of morale when the capital was moved from Karakorum to modern day Beijing

good question. I know that most were references to someone's father or trade as in smith was a metal worker or jackson was the son of jack, they came about when there were too many people for just a first name to identify someone without confusing them with someone else.

You probably mean déclassé, pronounced a bit like day-class-ay.\n\nIt means lower-class, beneath the dignity of the speaker.

You answered your own question..It's because a lot of people have confused His title with His name.

At the time of the Buddha the caste system was firmly established in India. According to this system, a person's position in society was determined from the time he was born and there was no way to change his lot in life. There were four castes, or classes, of people in society:\n\nThe Brahmins or priests, who claimed to be the highest caste and the purest of peoples \nThe warriors \nThe merchants and traders \nThe untouchables, who were considered the lowest class. They became workers and servants who did all the menial jobs, and were treated as slaves.\n\nThe Buddha condemned the caste system, which he considered unjust. He pointed out that there existed wicked and cruel people as well as virtuous and kind people in every caste. Any person who had committed a crime would be punished accordingly by his karma no matter what caste he belonged to. He said a person may be considered to have come from a high or low caste according to his good and bad deeds. Therefore, according to the Buddha it is the good and bad actions of a person and not his birth that should determine his caste.\n\nThe Buddha introduced the idea of placing a higher value on morality and the equality of people instead of on which family or caste a person is born into. This was also the first attempt to abolish discrimination and slavery in the history of mankind. \n\nThe Buddha said:\n\nBy birth one is not an outcaste,\nBy birth one is not a Brahmin;\nBy deeds alone one is an outcaste,\nBy deeds alone one is a Brahmin

The fall of Yuan ( The Mongal imperial dynasty )\n\n   In the 1350's, the pace of rebellion picked up. Several rebel leaders, almost all of whom came from the merchant or lower classes, seized cities and set themselves up as kings or even, with just a small bit of territory, proclaimed themselves Emperor. China was no longer in the control of the Emperor—it had been carved up among the rebel warlords. \n\n   One of these warlords was called Kuo Tzu-hsing; he controlled the territory of Anhui. However, it isn't Kuo Tzu-hsing that interests us; it is, rather, the general he appointed in 1355, Chu Yüan-chang, who would become the founder of the Ming dynasty. Chu was a peasant; along with Liu Bang (ruled 206-195 BC), he was the only peasant to found a Chinese dynasty. When Kuo Tzu-hsing died, Chu set about his real ambition: conquering the whole of China. It is said that a scholar told him he would succeed if he followed three rules: a.) build strong city walls; b.) gather as much grain in storage as possible; c.) be slow to assume titles. Chu followed these rules assiduously. \n\n   With his army, Chu slowly conquered one warlord's territory after another while carefully watching the government's army. By 1368, he had conquered all of southern China; this is the date at which the Ming dynasty officially begins. By 1369 he had driven the Mongols out of China. Except for Szechwan in the east (which was conquered in 1371) and Yünnan in the southeast (conquered in 1382), Chu controlled all of China in 1369.

Ronin\n\nThese were samurai class warriors who no longer had a master to follow/protect, so they hired their "services" out to the highest bidder.\n\n  The word Ronin actually translates into "Water people", signifying that they were transient, and seldom stayed in the same place for long.

The surname is often based on people's professions way back in history.  So someone who is a Smith could have been a blacksmith, silversmith, goldsmith etc.  My maiden name was King, but unfortunately it doesn't mean I have royal connections.  When the street players (mummers) used to entertain people in the market places, the character who used to play the King often got called that off-stage.
