UAR
Uar
Uar, (for Chinese etymology see
Huá (滑)), was the self designation used by the dominant ethnicity in a confederation known to the Chinese as the Yanda (嚈噠) and to the west as the
Hephthalites. It was the largest of one of the three ethnic components constituting the Hephthalite federation. Peoples with similar ethnicons had been present along the
Silk Road for centuries, and several of the
Central European family names actually derive from the names of such tribes. The Chinese classic
Liang Zhigongtu describes them as originating in the
Hua (state) (cf. Mongolia).
Simokattes's term Uar is also sometimes written War or Var. The variation Huá (滑), is the name the
Hephthalite polity used of themselves according to the Chinese classic
Liang chih-kung-t'u.
