Short description: Hun nobleman

Oebarsius or Aybars[1][2] (died after 448)[3] was a Hun nobleman, brother of Mundzuk and uncle of Bleda and Attila.

He was held in great honor, and sat next to Attila at royal banquets.[4] Oebarsius was probably never a king,[3] and had no dominion of his own.[5] He was still alive in 448.[3]

Pritsak considered that the name is a transcription of Turkic Oibars, meaning "yellow leopard" (hence "lion").[6] According to Hyun Jin Kim, his name is connected to Turkic Aybars, meaning "leopard of the moon", an ongon in the Turkic mythology.[7] There are other opinions about the affinity of his name with Oebasus, the Latin form of an Iranian name.[8] His name, possibly as many other recorded by Priscus, might have been Grecisized.[9]
