Chioniti

I Chioniti erano un gruppo nomade dell'Asia centrale nella tarda antichità. Il loro nome potrebbe derivare dal termine medio persiano X(i)yon. I Chioniti sembrano essere sinonimi dei popoli Huna dell'India classica/medievale^[1], e forse anche degli Unni della tarda antichità europea, a loro volta collegati onomasticamente agli Xiongnu nella storia della Cina.^[2]
