ref: 1931 March, “A New Life of Annie Besant”, in The O. E. Library Critic, volume XX, number 8, Washington, D.C.: The O. E. Library League:
text: But all this, serious thought it is, is hardly more than a film on the surface of “The Tartarus”; immediately below it, the sexuality of the symbolism is so visible and so insistent that one wonders at the printableness of the sketch in Harper’s in the sedate year 1855.

Borjigin
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Pronunciation: /ˈbɔː(ɹ)d͡ʒɪɡɪn/
Etymology: From Mongolian ᠪᠣᠷᠵᠢᠭᠢᠨ (borǰigin). According to Rashid al-Din Hamadani, in his Jāmi‘ al-Tawārīkh, and later Abu al-Ghazi Bahadur, in his Genealogy of the Turks, this name meant 'having eyes of the color اشهل (ašhal) ~ شهلا (šahlā)', i.e. 'dark blue eyes', which Genghis Khan and his brothers reputedly all had.
However, according to Igor de Rachewiltz, "The etymology of the name Borjigin is uncertain. The unreliable interpretation given by Rašīd (borjigin = 'man with dark blue eyes') accounts, through a further misunderstanding, also for the imaginary grey (pmo., mo. boro), or cat's eyes of Činggis Qan, regularly ascribed to the conqueror by modern authors."
