Elmingir
Elmingir also Elminegeir, Elmingeir (fl. 555) was a Hun general fighting for the Byzantine Empire.
He fought in the Lazic War, which saw the Byzantine Empire pitted against the Sasanian Empire. At the Siege of Phasis, he protected the Byzantine ships.
His name is, probably coincidentally, a homophone of Tungusic elmin, "young horse". This was also the name of a Manchu tribe. If such were indeed the origin of his name it would make it the only known Tungusic word in the Hunnic vocabulary.
