According to the Persian historian Rashid al-Din, Genghis Khan was born into the Bourchikoun, which means blue/grey eyed people, and he himself had fiery red hair and blue eyes.
The ancestral mother and founder of this clan was known as Alan goa. According to the Mongol and Chinese legends on the subject, she was said to have been visited in her tent by a divine being, who possessed golden hair, a fair complexion and blue eyes. Shortly after this visitation, she gave birth to the first member of the Bourchikoun clan.
