Proto Bulgarians
It is considered that Proto Bulgarians (also known as Bulgars or Bolgars) belong to the Turkic speaking people and Turkic ethnos. Their first settlements were in Central Asia where most of the Turkic tribes were formed. There are many hypotheses about the origin of the name "Bulgars". The oldest explanation can be found in Joseph Genesius chronicle of 11th century. Accordind to it, the name "Bulgar" comes from the name of their master Bulgar.
In 12th century a theory occurred that the name comes from the name of the Volga river, called by Proto Bulgarians "Bulga". Nowadays there is a theory that the name comes from the Turkic verb "bulg" meaning mix, stir. According to other theory that means also rebels, mutineers. Lately another theory occurred claiming that the name comes from a totem "Bulgar" – rodent in the family Squiridae. In 5th -6th centuries the Proto Bulgarians divided into two groups: Kutrigurs and Utigurs. The Kutrigurs inhabited the land in the north of the Black sea and in the west of the river Don. In the beginning of 7th century they became part of the Old Great Bulgaria of khan Kubrat. The Utrigurs lived in the east of the river Don. In 7th century the Utrigurian tribes also became part of the Old Great Bulgaria of khan Kubrat. After the death of khan Kubrat, his sons Asparuh and Kuber set out for the river of Danube. Another group, led by Alzek, traveled west and reached the todays Italy. Asparuh settled around the Danube delta and in 681 his group founded the state of Bulgaria.. Kuber’s group settled first in Panonia and then in Bitola but the Byzantine chronoclea called this settlement Bulgaria too.
The majority of the Proto Bulgarians lived in yurtas - large tents made of skins and leather, similar to the Native American wigwams. The main activity of the Proto Bulgarians was the raising and breeding of all sorts of cattle and especially horses which were used in the powerful Bulgarian cavalry, the backbone of the Proto Bulgarian army. The horses were used also for transportation, and their meat and the mares' milk were important parts of the Proto Bulgarian everyday diet. Agriculture was slowly finding a place in the activities of the Proto Bulgarians and was primarily a supplement to the cattle-raising, as well as hunting and fishing. Most agricultural products were either taken by force from or were exchanged (usually with the neighboring Slavic tribes). There were skilled proto-Bulgarian artisans, smiths, builders, and jewelers. Slavery was widespread, even though it never became the backbone of Proto Bulgarian economy. The slaves were usually prisoners of war, who were used as shepherds, domestic servants, and builders of fortresses etc. Some of the Proto Bulgarian titles are as follows: khan (king), boil (boyar), kanartikin (accessor), kavkhan (vice khan), boila kavkhan (chief kavkhan), ichirgu boil (Major General Commandant), khana boila kolobar (chief priest,) tarkan (khan’s advisor), boritarkan (city mayor), kolobar (barbar, doctor and priest), khana boila kolobrus (barber of the khan’s commanding officers) etc.
In the 20th century the most popular hypothesis relative to Proto Bulgarians’ origin is that Bulgars came from the Huns. As most of the modern nations, the Bulgarian nation was formed by uniting a lot of ethnoses and tribes, probably more than hundred but the biggest ones were the Slavs and the Bulgars.
