Etymology of the name. A try[edit]

Herodotus mentions the Scythian Chief Oktamasades (4:80).

Could this name be Turkish?

We know the pre-Atilla Hun Chief Oktar. Pritsak says it comes from the Old Turkish verb ökte-: (to encourage).

Ökte- (v)> Öktem: brave (strong) >? Oktamasades

The same root?UzunbacakAdem (talk) 09:33, 8 July 2022 (UTC) Uzunbacak Adem[reply]
