Ath-la or Athi-la is a name found among the Jats in north India.
This name could have been carried down from the Scythian Influxes of
the Sakas, Kushans, huns.
I suspect, that, for someone looking for Scythian tribal names,
looking into names carried down in the India, may not prove entirely
unrewarding.
When is this name Attila first attested ? with the 3rd/4th century
Huns or does it show up earlier ?.
I look forward to the further results.
