yau  +  118933 Sun, 17 Jul 05 01:08 AM I remembered the first time I heard about "Hungary"'s English name, I was so silly to think it was anything related to Hungry. When growing up, "Huns" immediately comes to my mind when talking this country. I always wondered if both are related or not. Then Hungary became the name in a history book to illustrate the super power of Mongolian. It said their army reached as far as Hungary and my classmates "wow!" on it.       yau Joined on Sat, Jun 4 2005 New Member 30

Althought their names are very similar in English and other languages (Hungarian, however, is "Magyar" in my language), there’s no real historical proof of relationship. Nevertheless, many people look upon Hungarians as Hun descendant or relation. My firstname is Attila which can be known as the name of the king of Huns. As I know this name is given only in Hungary and perhaps in Turkey but I’m not sure about it. So, I don’t have a clue what the true is. jupath
