Huyan

The Huyan (Zh-cw|c=呼衍|w="Huyen") was a noble house that led the last remnants of the Northern Huns (Ch. Xiongnu, Hsiung-nu, etc) to Dzungaria during the 2nd century, after the Battle of Ikh Bayan. The noble clan of Huyan, is a patrilineal lineage or last name, much as the Ashina and Yujiulu.Lin (1986), p. 33-45, 114-119] Wang (2004), p. 132-147,]

By the 3rd century BC, the upper stratum of the Hun (Ch. Xiongnu, Hsiung-nu, etc) was made up of five aristocratic houses, the Luanti (house of "Shanyu" and the "Tuqi" of the east and west), Huyan (Tr. Kuyan = Jack rabbit), Xubu (Tr. Suybu = West Tribe), Qiulin and Lan (Tr. Lan = Orchard). Both noble houses of Huyan (Kuyan), and Xubu (Suybu), settled in the east, Qiulin and Lan in the west, while Luanti at the center of Mongolia.Wang (2004), p. 132-147,] [Gumilev L.N., "Hunnu in China", Moscow, 'Science', 1974]
