Hunjan (Punjabi: ਹੁੰਜਣ, also known as Hunejan, Hunjān and Hoonjan) is a surname found among Punjabi people originating from the Huns who invaded the region in antiquity. They are also the namesake for the village Hunejan in Iran. [1]

Hunas invading the Punjab region from Central Asia assimilated into the local community during the Late antiquity era. Many descendants retained their ethnic designation through the surname "Hunjan" from: Huna (ਹੂਨਾ, "Hun") + -jana (-ਜਣ, "person"). [2] Modern day descendants can trace their origin to Iranian, Turkic and Indo-Aryan roots.
