...what the Magyars call the Etelköz, i.e., the territory between the Carpathians and the Dnieper River (today's Ukraine).
The exact location of Etelköz is disputed.
"Etel", which means Volga in Old Turkic, could stand for the river Volga, or Etil.
According to Hungarian tradition, Etelköz was located between the river Volga and the lower Danube.
Modern historians, however, usually name slightly different locations, such as around the Dnieper, etc.
In any case, the Magyars appear around 830 on the west banks of the Don River.
