Ever since Joseph de Guignes in the 18th century identified the Huns with the Xiongnu or (H)siung-nu, the research and debate about the Asian ancestral origins of the Huns has continued. Recent research has suggested that many of the great confederations of steppe warriors were not entirely of the same race, but rather tended to be mixtures of Central Asian and eastern Caucasian. Also, many clans may have claimed to be Huns simply based on the prestige and fame of the name, or it was attributed to them by outsiders descr ...

In some cases, both the location's name and the demonym are produced by suffixation, for example England and English and English(wo)man(derived from the Angle tribe). In some cases the derivation is concealed enough that it is no longer morphemic: France -> French. Often the singular name for one of the people is the base form, and the country name, if it exists, is derived therefrom (Switzer (an archaic word for Swiss) -> Switzerland, Arab -> Arabia, Croat -> Croatia, Dan ...

Chaotic conditions followed the rise of Avar power in Europe in the 550s. The Avar Onoghur dynasty (580s-685) had mixed Avar-Bulgar heritage, but the name Onogur possibly comes from the name "Hun". The English name "Hungary" derives from Onogur, allowing some space for their inclusion in the list of Hun Dynasties. ...

Huns - 3rd-5th centuries. Dionysius Periegetes talks of people who may be Huns living next to the Caspian Sea in second century AD. Ptolemy lists the "Chuni" as among the "Sarmatian" tribes in the second century, although it is not known for certain if these people were the Huns. The fifth century Armenian historian Moses of Khorene, in his "History of Armenia," introduces the Hunni near the Sarmatians and goes on to describe how they captured the city of Balk ("Kush" in Armenian) sometime between 194 and 214, which explains why the Gre ...

Some peoples, especially cultures that were overwhelmed by European colonists, have no commonly accepted demonym, or have a demonym that is the same as the name of their (current or historical) nation. Examples include Iroquois, Aztec, Māori, and Czech. Such peoples' native languages often have differentiated forms that simply did not survive the transfer to English. In Czech, for example, the language is Čeština, the nation is Česko or Česká rep ...

The term "Hun" has been used to describe peoples with no historical connection to what scholars consider "Hun". On July 27, 1901, during the Boxer Rebellion in China, Kaiser Wilhelm II gave the order to "make the name 'German' remembered in China for a thousand years, so that no Chinaman will ever again dare to even squint at a German". This speech, wherein Wilhelm invoked the memory of the 5th-century Huns, coupled with the Pickelhaube or spiked helmet worn by German forces until 1916, that was reminiscent of ancient Hun (and Hungari ...
