The etymology of the name Hun

The name or word Khun, or Hun, is, in fact, as I have demonstrated in Huns and Slavs, a word or name of Munda origin, from khand, meaning ‘dagger.’

‘Once it is realized and understood that the Padjanaks were, in fact, the Kushans, a new understanding of the history of Europe, especially of Eastern Europe, will supplant the present one, and it will be easily understandable that a village in present-day Croatia is named after the greatest king of the Kushans. The migration of the Padjanaks (Kushans) and Kangar from Central Asia to Europe was not merely a migration of tribes; it was the migration of the descendants of the populace of an empire – the Kushan Empire.’ – Joseph Amyot Padjan
