Khan is a title meaning king. It is also a mistranslation of the Mongol title, "Qaγan", or Khagan in Turkish, which means "Khan of Khans" or Emperor. His technical name was Qublai Setsen son of Tolui of the Borjigin clan. If you want an celebrity who is descended from Qublai Khan, look up Batdorj-in Baasanjab. Yvette Marie Stevens is not descended from Kublai Khan. However, something like 1/4 of men in central and East Asia are descended from the Borigin clan.
