Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the ethnonym of the Avars, an ancient nomadic people of Eurasian history, and subsequently adopted into various European languages including French (avaʁ) to designate the Northeast Caucasian ethnic group and their language. The term traces back through Middle Latin and Byzantine Greek sources, ultimately reflecting early medieval ethnonyms of the Pontic-Caspian steppe.
