Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Atilla je pravopisný variant mena Attila. Tradičný germánsky výklad ho odvodzuje z gótskeho atta „otec“ pomocou zdrobňovacej prípony -ila. Význam „otecko“ preto predstavuje etymologický výklad, nie nepochybne preukázaný preklad. Existujú aj konkurenčné turkické hypotézy; rozšírenie mena v maďarčine samo osebe nedokladá maďarský jazykový pôvod.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Slovenskú podobu Atila a genitív Atilu dokladá Slovník slovenského jazyka VI, JÚĽŠ SAV; skloňovanie zápisu Atilla je jeho gramatickou analógiou. Konkurenčné etymológie sumarizuje Türk Dünyası Ansiklopedisi, heslo Attila. Uvedené domácke tvary dokladá Keresztnevek enciklopédiája v maďarskom prostredí; ich obľúbenosť v slovenských rodinách nie je overená. Pole origins uvádza konkurenčné hypotézy, nie preukázaný dvojitý pôvod. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
