What is a Hun-Mine layer? I feel that might be helpful on the punchline....
I am pretty sure "Hun" was a way to refer to the Germans in WW1, so a Hun Mine-Layer would be a German who laid mines... But could be totally talking out of my arse so will look it up ๐
So is Atilla the Hun just Atilla the German?
'atilla' meant something like 'little Daddy' in visigothic.
Do with that what you will
That's a little unfair because "daddy" is already a diminutive version of "dad" so you are double dipping on diminutives. It'd be more accurate to say that "atilla" is either like "little dad" or "daddy".
