[edit]From Common Turkic *burqan (“Buddha”), compare Old Uyghur pwrq'n (burqan, “Buddha”), Karakhanid بُرْخَنْ (burχan, “idol”). The Turkic word is derived from Middle Chinese 佛 (MC bjut, “Buddha”) and Old Turkic 𐰴𐰣 (qan, “ruler, king”) and chosen to represent Buddha corresponding properly to Sanskrit बुद्धराजा (buddharājā, “Buddha-king”) in the earliest Turkic translations of Buddhist scriptures.
