Khaleesi is associated with the meaning “Queen or ruler of the Dothraki people” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Khaleesi is not a name pulled from ancient history books. It was invented by author George R.R. Martin for his fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire," first published in 1996. In the fictional Dothraki language, "khaleesi" simply means "queen" or "wife of the khal," where "khal" means a tribal warlord.
