Payai Dunai

[mountaingoat]

maybe they migrated from the danube ? =P

someone should post the info

its most likely a coincidence that it matches the name of the danube in Hungarian.

Don't forget where the Hungarians (Magyar) originally came from.

That's interresting. I never thought on that similarity before.

I checked up on the origin of the name of the Duna. - What I could find says that it stemms from the ancient Indo-European word "dānu" (meaning river or stream). The Ossetian word "Don" (water, river) is the most similar to it in a modern day language.

The name given to it by the romans "Ister" only meant the lower part of the river. This name is suspected to have its origins in ancient greek, but there are also claimes that it has celtic roots.

So I suspect the word "dunai" either means foot archer or something like that, but I wonder what an EB team member could say on the matter.

Wikipedia features some of these theories as well as names for Danube in a lot of languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube
