The Huns were a group of nomadic people who lived in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia between the 4th and 6th centuries AD. They played a significant role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the migration period. Here are some of the notable kings and chiefs of the Huns:

Notable for: Unifying the Huns and leading them in several successful campaigns against the Eastern Roman Empire.
4. Attila the Hun
Reign: 434-453 AD

Gunnar
Gunnar is a Nordic name, composed of Gun - 'battle, battle' and the suffix - ar (here probably with the meaning 'leader, warrior'). The German equivalent of the name is Günther .

The name was common in the Nordics during the Viking Age and the Middle Ages. In the Icelandic Njalssagan, the main character is called Gunnar på Lidarände. The name became popular again towards the end of the 19th century through Viktor Rydberg's poem Snöfrid (1882) and the novel Vapensmeden (1891), and during the 1910s and 1920s it was one of the three most common names in Sweden.
