Morphology

Khazarian = Khazar (transparent) = Khazar + ian

The noun denoting a person is a standard denominal/demonymic use of '-ian' on 'Khazar', so the relation is clear.

Etymology

A Khazarian is a person from the Khazar people, and the ending -ian means 'person from' or 'belonging to', just like in Italian. So a Khazarian is someone who belonged to the Khazars.
