"हूण" meaning in Sanskrit

See हूण in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ɦuː.ɳɐ/ [Vedic], /ˈɦuː.ɳɐ/ [Classical-Sanskrit]
Etymology: Of Central Asian origin. Pulleyblank (2000) proposes that हूण (hūṇa) shares the same underlying source as English Huns, Late Latin Hunni, Koine Greek Οὗννοι (Hoûnnoi), Sogdian [script needed] (xwn), and Old Chinese 匈奴 (*qʰoŋ naː) (318 CE), the last of which, according to Schuessler (2014), possibly transcribed foreign *Hǒna ~ *Hǔna. For more see Huna people and Xiongnu. While the name of the Hunas apparently derived from the same source as Hun, the two groups were not necessarily synonymous and their exact relationship is unclear.
