I'm strongly in favour of the proposal by Drago Novith, who based the name on 'seat of the Khan'. That name giving makes much sense when relating it to a people who originally lead a nomadic or semi-nomadic life-style, which would be plausible to assume for the tribes of men who first settled the drained Helcar basin. So, as I recall seeing someone mentioning Khanbaliq (was that yourself?), I think the proposal by Drago is very fitting: Khanarcham. This could be 'etymologically twisted' into Kanarkum, or something similar. Another combination that may be just as fitting is the use of '-tûr', as in 'Khantûr' or similar, which has both relevant meaning in Sindarin and Quenya and has similar meaning for the peoples ruled/goverend by the Khan. The word Khantûr could be etymologically transformed into 'Kantoor', which may sound nice for non-Dutch speakers and will appear to be a bit odd for us Netherswamplanders ... as it means 'Office' in Dutch, in a modern sense. Not the least appropriate names in this case, but weird nonetheless. :)
