For linguistics, to begin with, most of the names used in the elite class have Turkic etymology. Attila is Atilla, Mundzuk is Muncuk, Uldin is Uldız, Dengizik is Deniz, Eitil is İtil, İlek is the same, İlek...[/QUOTE]
Some names like Attila can be interpreted through Germanic or Sarmatian, Attila especially is far better explained through Gothic rather than any Turkic origin theory.[/QUOTE]
That's because a lot of Goths got assimilated to the Hunnic confederacy. It's not Germanic or Indo-European name in general but rather very closely related to Turkic.
