The following list starts with Balamber, the first known king of the Huns, who is thought to be one of the earliest, if not the first, Hun king since their arrival in Pannonia.

All other information on Hunnic is contained in personal names and tribal ethnonyms. [186] On the basis of these names, scholars have proposed that Hunnic may have been a Turkic language , [ 187 ] a language between Mongolic and Turkic, [ 188 ] an Eastern Iranian language , [ 189 ] or a Yeniseian language . [ 190 ]
Otto Maenchen-Helfen considered the Hunnic name Έδέκων (Edekon) to be of Germanic or Germanized origin, but did not mention any derivation. [1]Omeljan Pritsak derived it from Old Turkic verbal root *edär-(to pursue, to follow), and deverbal noun suffix κων (kun < r-k < r-g < *gun). [2]
The "Seal of Khingila" shows a beardless ruler with radiate crown and royal ribbons, wearing a single-lapel caftan, in the name of Eškiŋgil (εϸχιγγιλο), which could correspond to one of the rulers named Khingila (χιγγιλο), or may be a Hunnic title meaning "Companion of the Sword", or even "Companion of the God of War". [232] [233]
The chief piece of evidence connecting the Xiongnu to the other Hunnic groups is the apparent similarity of their names. These are recorded in Chinese as Xiōngnú, Greek Οὖννοι (Ounnoi), Latin Hunni, Sogdian Xwn, Sanskrit Hūṇa, Middle Persian Ẋyon and Armenian Hon-k’.
Balamber (also known as Balamir, Balamur and many other variants) was ostensibly a chieftain of the Huns, mentioned by Jordanes in his Getica (c. 550 AD). [1] Jordanes simply called him "king of the Huns" (Latin: rex Hunnorum) and writes the story of Balamber crushing the tribes of the Ostrogoths in the 370s; somewhere between 370 [2] and more probably 376 [3] AD.
The name is recorded in two variants, Greek Ούπταρος (Ouptaros), and Latin Octar. [1] The change from -ct-to -pt-is characteristic of Balkan Latin. [1] [2] Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen considered the name to be of unknown origin. [3]
