where does the name ATTILA,the king of Huns,come from?

[Tonyukuk]

Avitokul

There is a Bulgar-Tatar epic called ''Shan Kýzý ''. Ýts orginal copy is not present.but We have Its Russian translation.There is an historical figure named Avdan Dulo in that epic.What Avdan Dulo did is very similar to what Attila did in his lifetime.

As you know,,Avitokhul in the list of Bulgar khans is generally accepted to be Attila.Irnach is accepted to be Ernach ,the son of Attila. Ernach or Irnach means Little-man or Little soldier.

Dulo is the name of Dynasty of Huns.

I am accused of claiming that Huns are of Turkic.First of all,U should be cognizant of that Fact that This view does not belong to me..I am wondering about whether you have read the books by the world-renowed scholars such as J.deguignes,J.klaproth,Hirth,Marguart,Pelliot,Franke,Nemeth,Mcgovern,Grousset,Eberhard,Pritsak,Hauss ing,Basin,Clauson,Szasz,Samolin,Gumilev,Altheim,Rasonyi,Abel-Remusat,semenov,Ritter ,Koskinen,Shiratoriy,Baskakov,Grjimaylo,Roux,Stein,Vambery,Ligeti,Maenchen,Gabain,Benzing and etc..Secondly,There is no concensus among scientifics in relation to whether the name Attila comes from.I just mention the current interpretations regarding this personage.

This is funny.

Sounds interesting. I'll look for an English translation of that epic.

In Europe ;Hunns,Finns and Bulgars has a Turkic origins,
nobody can claim its opposite

[WiseSage2005]

DNA evidence shows that the Huns were Mongolians. In fact, many historians believe they are the Hsiung-nu people who invaded China in the 200's.

I speak Chuvash language. So may be my comments will be helpful. 'Atte' is a father in Chuvash language.
In Russian (Chuvash) alphabet it looks like 'Атте'.
