 The name "Ut(r)igur", recorded as "Οὺτ(τ)ρίγουροι", "Οὺτούργουροι" and "Οὺτρίγου", is generally considered as a metathecized form suggested by Gyula Németh of Turkic "*Otur-Oğur", thus the "*Uturğur" mean "Thirty Oğurs (tribes)".Lajos Ligeti proposed "utur-" (to resist), while Louis Bazin "uturkar" (the victors-conquerors), "Quturgur" and "qudurmaq" (the enrages).There has been little scholarly support for theories linking the names Kutrigur and Utigur to peoples such as the Guti/Quti and/or Udi/Uti, of Ancient Southwest Asia and the Caucasus respectively, which have been posited by scholars such as Osman Karatay, and Yury Zuev.
