It’s crazy how much memes have become like comic strips when you stop and think about it.
It’s spelled “Attila”. Guess she really got the wrong one.
Edit: colour me surprised, there’s variations on spelling. Although “Attila” is the most common, even that one is usually pronounced like “Atilla” in Hungarian.
Original had no spelling in its native? I think?
The great fast horse Daddy!!
Most scholars have argued that the name Attila derives from East Germanic origin; Attila is formed from the Gothic or Gepidic noun atta, “father”, by means of the diminutive suffix -ila, meaning “little father” (compare Wulfila from wulfs “wolf” and -ila, i.e. “little wolf”).
Other scholars have argued for a Turkic origin of the name. Omeljan Pritsak considered Ἀττίλα (Attíla) a composite title-name which derived from Turkic *es (great, old), and *til (sea, ocean), and the suffix /a/.
M. Snædal, in a paper that rejects the Germanic derivation but notes the problems with the existing proposed Turkic etymologies, argues that Attila’s name could have originated from Turkic-Mongolian at, adyy/agta (gelding, warhorse) and Turkish atlı (horseman, cavalier), meaning “possessor of geldings, provider of warhorses”.
In 2025, Svenja Bonmann and Simon Fries, as part of their hypothesis that the Huns spoke a Yeniseian language, proposed that the name Attila could come from an Old Arin adjective *atɨ-la, meaning “quicker, quite quick, rather quick, quick-ish”.
I mean they mention it in school but ive never actually seen it written as Atilla. Have seen Attilla tho but thats incorrect.
