Chohan is a word that according to H. P. Blavatsky means "'Lord' or 'Master'; a chief".[1] Although Mme. Blavatsky claims the word comes from the Tibetan language, its origin has not been identified. In the Mahatma Letter No. 18 the word is spelled as "Cho-Khan", the Tibetan words chos (pronounced with a silent "s") meaning "dharma" ("teaching", "doctrine", or "law") and khan (spelled mkhan) means abbot. Also, the word mkhan as the second member of a two-part word means "one who practices or is skilled in" something. Another possibility is that the word Cho-Khan is a tibetan-chinese construct where "Khan" is a Chinese term meaning "lord", "chief", or "emperor".
