The word derives from the old Slavic word ǫg(ъr- for the proto-Magyars. Through Germanic languages, the word got into other European languages ((H)ungarus, (H)ungarn, Vengry etc.). The Slavic word is thought to be derived from the Bulgaro-Turkic Onogur, possibly because the proto-Magyars were neighbours (or confederates) of the Empire of the Onogurs in the 6th century, whose leading tribal union was called the "Onogurs" (meaning "ten tribes").

The H- in many languages (Hungarians, Hongrois, Hungarus etc.) is a later addition. It was taken over from the word "Huns", which was a similar semi-nomadic tribe living some 400 years earlier in present-day Hungary and having a similar way of life (or according to the older theories the people from which the Magyars arose). In ancient times, through the middle ages, and even today, the identification of Hungarians with the Huns has often occurred in history and literature, however this identification began to be disputed around the late 19th century, and is still a source of major controversy among scholars who insist that there could be no direct connection between the two.

Hun names like Attila and R幧a are still popular among Hungarians, and forms derived from Latin Hungaria are used like in the racetrack Hungaroring (mostly due to the strong English language pressure in tourism and international matters).

Magyar is today simply the Hungarian word for Hungarian. In English and many other languages, however, Magyar is used instead of Hungarian in certain (mainly historical) contexts, usually to distinguish ethnic Hungarians (i.e. the Magyars) from the other nationalities living in the Hungarian kingdom.

 They call themselves Magyar-just like we do, Bosanac.And u were basically right about avars, huns and magyars.The thing about south slavs is that we 're slavs the least of all ( genetically ).We're the descendants of the pre-slav populations-illyrians,thracians,dacians,romans,and pre indo-european peoples of the balcans.Yet, we feel slavic and our language is slavic.Btw, Magyars r  mostly slavic genetically,since as u said there was a lot of slavs living in todays hungary before Magyars came.Infact, they're more slavic then we are.

And Serbs and Croats are originally Sarmatians-not that it makes any difference...

i dont agree with you at all. yes, we do have some genes of the tribes youve named i believe, but we ARE slavic. i dont understand why we couldnt be. Our language is very much slavic. russians are pure slavs and we act alot like they do, speak almost the same as they do while magyars have a completely different language. So i dont know how your theory can be true that magyars are more slavic than we are.

I havent done genetic testing, id really like to but judging by my looks, i dont look italian, or arabic, or aryan either, i mostly look like an oriental (people have always told me this)...with much whiter skin. And i was born in northern bosnia, i believe most of my recent ancestors from my mothers and fathers side came from serbia. Although ive only had one half serbian friend, the rest were all bosnian and bosnian-croat. and ive also lived in Zagreb croatia, now im in america. I hope to live in my country again someday.

Bosnian, u misunderstood me ! Magyars r not Slavs, but they do have a lot of slavic ''blood'' so to speak( this is what i meant).

We are mainly the offsprings of those pre-slavic peoples.Just look at the genetic maps !Better yet, look at us! And not even the russians and poles r pure slavs ! I bet u thought that english r germanics-well check again-u'd be surprised !

What's that? What's the genetics of "Germanic-Celtic"?

Those are just linguistic groups. There's no such thing as a Germanic, Celtic or Latin genetics. Nor there's a Slavic genetics either.

Genetics is a complex matter that must be taken with care but I bet you that languages and identities move a lot faster than genes normally.

NO GOD, NO MASTER!

Yeah, but there is a big connenction between the two. In some countries more than others though. Like for example, an african-american speaks english but in no way is he genetically english.

where were the Huns from?

i'm from mongolia.

Of course Attila*s Huns were part of Mongolian first empire named by Hun (hunnu).

In my oppinion  because of  encient Mongolians nomadic civilization, sometimes the mongolians stepped into Hungary .I heard that Mongolia and Hungary have almost same wheather. After the Hunnu's defeat, some of them traveled and fought till Hungary.

Huns are  an old civilization.
The question is what hapened to them.
I placed my view on this potic on a wrong bord but here it goes again:
My father and uncle(Hungarians-Magyarok) teased me when i was young that one day i would/or would be involved with a girl that has eyes as big as apples.Saying this they would take a fist and metaphore it as one eye so you get the idea on how big that eye is.
Further,i saw only two girls in my life(25y/o) that match that description.I saw one on Hungarian television singing in a folk ansamble and the other while i was studying in Belgrade(Serbia).The other one i saw in real life and i know that her name is Anita ,a comon Magyar(Hungarian) even a Slavic or other name.This girl i saw is Hun defenitly(not magyar or serb or whatever)
So this was the briefing on HOW TO SPOT A HUN,...lol
I could go on and on about , as i call it, that specific kind of beauty but
 for now lett me asure you that Huns do exsist and if you saw them you would be sure of that. These girls dont look "normal" by any standard,be it Europian or Asian.Very beautiful but degustibus non est desputandum.

YES man,i described how they look.
Thes two girls i saw were completly diferent,one-Anita- was dark skined(brown and yellow),the other-the TV girl-was white.Both very woman like,large female atributes(yeah,but im not jokeing).About 160-165cm(the tv girl i can just guess).
Very,very large EYES.
When you see a woman like that you stopand ask yourself,is she beautiful or ugly?Then you get it- she looks like a real woman,not that nonsens fashon skiny everyday woman you see.
So its not strange the Huns were so good wariors,when you have a woman like that you want to keep her!Oh man i cant explane..............
Once again YES i saw them.

Every hungarian chronicle writes down clearly the Arpad is the 5 th descendant of Attila's bloodline.

After the death of Attila,,yes he sons were fighting over teh control, but noone could keep it in strong hands. the unity failed, but the huns didnt dissaper. some moved back to eurasian stepeps, some stayed in Transylvania and the Carpathian basin.

Magyar is not just an ethnic, but amagyar is also a language! Ther are huns who speak magyar, and there are magyars who speak magyar.

Magyars have low % of slavic blood. Stop this stereotypes. Slavs were in little number in hungary before the magyars came backk to their homeland. Scytians, avars, huns, siculi, vandals, goths lived there. Slavs were mostly shepards and pastors on the Balcans, No offense, but slavs got writigns skills just in the late 10th century..

I think they mostly settled in the regio of Hungary.
Dont forget they were not an ethnic homogenic tribe when they were in Hungary, but putting that aside Hungarians can claim theyre descendants of the Huns.
If you feel Hunnic, you are Hunnic, nobody can change that.

According to my knowledge, after the Battle of Nedao, the Huns (then more or less united even after Attila's death) split into different confederations, the Altyn Oba Horde, and later the Kutrigurs and Utigurs (who became known as the Bulgars later in history I believe).
