Well...let´s see. First I would say no. I know that in the word ,,Hungary´´ you can find the word ,,Hun´´, but the hungarians call Hungary ,,Magyarország´´ in what you cannot found ,,Hun´´. The english name of Hungary came from that the western cultures does not discern nomads from eachother too much. Ancient and medieval hungarian legends says that the hungarian (magyar/mager/moger) leaders´ ancestor is Attila, the greatest leader of huns. I don´t think these tales are more than tales, but huns trailed through hungarian terriory (Levedia) before they appeared on the world known by romans and other western cultures. There are also some turkic words in hungarian language, and the huns also spoken a turkic language. But hungarian laguage also contains finno-ugric words. So I say no, hungarians are not huns (only a little bit maybe).
