Mauger = Magyar?

I read all the theories on the origin of this family name, and it is interesting that noone wrote about a possibility of this word coming from the name: Moger. Muageris (reconstructed name: Muager/Modier) was the first who had this name and he was a Hunnic leader in the Caspian area. The people of Hungary actually call themselves to this very day Magyars, they use this as an endonym, but noone really knows it's real meaning, only that it's ancient. In the Middle Ages the Kingdom of Hungary was one of the biggest and strongest kingdoms in Europe and hundreds and thousands of western Europeans settled within it's borders. And on the contrary: thousands of Hungarians settled in western Europe. It is not very hard to imagine that some of them kept and went on using Moger as family name, signalling their ancestry. An other and even earlier example of this is the story of the name Alain (like Alain Delon) which comes from the Alan people (a steppe people) that spread throughout Europe in the III-IV. centuries in big masses (they even founded an own kingdom in Andalusia). Would be better to think of it as a possibility and something that would worth making some research on. 178.48.177.1 (talk) 11:28, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
