Where did the German Hun family come from? What is the German Hun family crest and coat of arms? When did the Hun family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hun family history?

The ancient and distinguished German surname Hun is of patronymic origin, deriving from the first name of the father of the original bearer. Hun comes from "Huno," which is a personal name of unclear origin; it may be derived from "Hun," the name of the Asiatic race of nomads who ravaged Europe during the 5th century, or from "Hunn," the Old Norse diminutive meaning "little bear."

Spelling variations of this family name include: Hunn, Hun, Hunne, Hunel, Hundt and others.

First found in Swabia, where the name is thought to have emerged. The name dates back as far as 1270, when Rudi Huno was working as a tax collector in Basel. The young Hun family was instrumental during this formative period, figuring prominently in the early history of the region and contributing greatly to the development of medieval Swabian society.
