The "White Huns", also known in Iranian as the Spet Xyon and in Sanskrit as the Sveta-huna, were a sub-group of the Huna and/or Xionites. The White Huns are sometimes regarded as synonymous with the Hephthalites, but may have included other tribes as well. Gujars are said to have originally been a sub-tribe of the White Huns. Pashtuns have also been theorized to have been descended from the White Huns but most historians give the Pashtuns a Massagetae origin.
