 The external name Hungarian was recorded in the 13th century by Anonymous in the Gesta Hungarorum, as originating in the 9th century from the castle Ung (Hungu) now in Slovakia.Later the Italians began using the phrase Hungarorum which first appears in the Song of the Watchmen of Modena in 924 AD.This may be a play on words taking the similarity of the word hunguarie to the name of the Huns, as Hungarorum could be divided "hun-garorum"
