There are many theories floating around about the origin of the Huns: so we dont know for sure. But the most accepted theory is that the Huns descended from a mongolic (not mongolian but related) tribe called the Xiongnu on the borders of the Han Chinese Empire. Over time, the Xiongnu moved further and further west till they reached Pannonia (modern day Hungary) a few generations before Attila the Hun. By the time of Attila, the Huns used the Carpathian basin area as a base of their subsequent attacks all over Europe. I dont know what happened to them after Attila died but Im guessing they dissolved into the populations of Europe
