ʿAli Akbar Khata'i was an early 16th-century Persian traveler and writer. Although there is no certainty about his origin, we know that by 1515 he came to Istanbul, where he published Ḵaṭāy-nāma , which is considered one of the most complete travel notes about the Ming China. His work, originally written in Persian, was later translated into Turkish, and became influential in the Turkish- and Persian-speaking Muslim world.
As with other Middle Eastern personages, there are a great number of ways to transcribe 'Ali Akbar's name. For example, Encyclopedia Iranica uses the spelling ʿAlī Akbar Ḵeṭāʾī.
