Suars

Suars

The Suars (also known as "Suvar") were a Turkic-speaking people, probably of Hunnish descent, who lived in Eastern Europe in Middle Ages.

Tatar scholars claim that the Suars were a branch of the Sabirs who migrated to the Middle Volga in the 8th century CE. It is well established that one of the major cities of Volga Bulgaria was called Suar or Suwar, and that this city formed the center for a sub-kingdom, the Suar Duchy.

Today many Chuvash regard the Suars as their ancestors. (Chuvash: "Сӑварсем") In the Mari language modern Volga Tatars are called "Suas"; Chuvash also are known as "Suasenmari" or in Finnish language "Suaslanmari" (which means "Suar"-icized Mari".)
