The Huns originated from central Asia: that's where they were first reported, east of the Volga river. Over time they also lived in Eastern Europe and Caucasus, near the Caspian Sea.

Answer: Central Asia

The origins of the Huns are still unclear. However, most experts agree that they originated somewhere in Central Asia. The Huns were nomads who spread from Central Asia to the Caucasus and Eastern Europe between the 4th and the 6th century AD. The Huns were recorded in Roman history because of their frequent and devastating raids into the empire.
