Estimates regarding the number of women Genghis Khan impregnated vary widely, with some historians suggesting he may have fathered children with hundreds or possibly thousands of women during his lifetime. This notion is partially derived from the legacy and expansive reach of the Mongol Empire, which at its peak, covered vast territories and populations.
Research using genetic data has revealed that around 16 million men in modern-day Central Asia carry a genetic marker linked to Genghis Khan, indicating a significant number of offspring. While this number does not directly equate to the number of women he impregnated, it does highlight the extent of his lineage.
Moreover, Genghis Khan’s practice of taking multiple wives and his conquests often involved taking women from the populations he conquered, which likely increases the number of women with whom he had relations. However, exact figures are impossible to determine due to the lack of comprehensive records from that era.
