Me:

Hunta is a short form of an Anglo-Saxon masculine name commencing with hunt (hunt).

Reference:

Hunta [Sir Henry Ellis 1833 A General Introduction to Domesday Book 2: 151].

Stem:

hunt = Hunting [Northcote Toller 1882-1898 An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, 2nd edition, page 567].

Suffix:

— a = termination of pet names, such as Cutha for Cuthwine or Cuthwulf [William Searle 1897 Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum, page 1].

More probably Hunta was formed in the same way as Aca, Bæda, Beaga, Branda, Brorda, Bruna, Burga, Centa, Cutha, Dæda, Dæga, Deora, Dycga, Eada, Ecga, Fortha, Goda, Heaha, Huna, and Hunda.

Usage:

Đurđa Knežević: Voljeni Vođa i voljena Hunta
