Claim: During the reign of Beonna of East Anglia, Hun also occurred as part of a moneyer's name, and was in several placenames in England.
Evidence: Beonna (also known as Beorna) was King of East Anglia from 749. It is thought that he shared the kingdom with another ruler called Alberht and possibly with a third man, named Hun. Hun also occurred as part of a moneyer's name. There are several placenames in England that contain the term as a personal name element, such as Hunsdon, Hertfordshire and Hunston, West Sussex (but not Hunston, Suffolk).
