Playing as Carthage, my allied city-state Antananarivo just gave me one of these through the completed Patronage social policy tree. 172.9.200.27 22:03, March 20, 2015 (UTC)

That's entirely normal. City-states that give you Great People will occasionally give you Khans in place of Great Generals or Merchants of Venice in place of the regular Great Merchants. -Mythril Wyrm (talk) 00:33, March 21, 2015 (UTC)
Completing the patronage tree as Venice will sometimes net you units entitled "Merchants of Venice" that do not have the ability to purchase city-states.
