The Meaning of Hunza

Hello,

Good after

Today i will

write about

the meaning

of Hunza.

Many people

thinks that

the word

Hunza is the

combination

of two wards.

One is Hun & onether is Za.The meaning of Hun is the Bow and

meaning of Za is Arrow.Mostly people thinks that the Hunza

valley is looks like the shape of Bow & Arrow.Therefore they

took the name Hunza.In burushaski language (the local language

of central Hunza) forBow and Arrow we called Huntsu niza.And

the Word Hunza is similar to that burushaski word.
