Hun, Alan, Avar, and other Steppe Nomad Movements

[Condottiero Magno]

I don't know when Turkic-speaking tribes entered the West, but the earliest advance, at least partially, was probably the Black Huns. Yet even here we see Attila with a Gothic name and also speaking Gothic. :whistle:

Multilingual rulers weren't a rarity, especially of conglomerations, while Attila may have been what his Gothic subjects called him, then picked up by the Romans, not his actual name. AFAIK, Attila is a popular name in Hungary and Turkey.
