I check the April fool's update now, and the faction name isn't Khaganate. Their banner is the "Banner of the Khaganate" As you can see, I already added the faction "Easterlings".

I never take that April fool's update seriously. Whatever the mod maker who is Mevans choose, if the name is irrational, we always could point it out, and "Khaganate" is a truly irrational name.

The Khaganate is a compound of Khagan + ate, and Khand is a compound of Khan + d. The elements:
 * Khagan
 * Khan

are both alternative spellings for the title of the Mongolian lords. In my language, they are same words. (even in English Wikipedia, they will tell you Khagan and Khan are same, and Khaganate is a different spelling for Khanate.)
