    Which I never understood. Khaleesi was her title, not her name.
    It´s equivalent-ish to naming a kid King or Czar or something.

      Like Cesar, or Roy, or Regis, etc.

      It’s even worse, because my understanding is that “Khaleesi” doesn’t actually mean “queen”, but would more accurately mean “concubine/wife of the king/khal”. I believe the queenship is only implied after the death of the khal.

        Not really implied by the term itself, since after the death of the khal the khaleesi are basically exiled to the capital. Daenerys only brought greater meaning to the title when she used it in her conquests.
