I think the article should be expanded to encompass some information about the ancient settlement in Buda. It was a major city in the old Magyar kindom.
I have gone through in one history book from India which states that Buda stands for Buddha. Budapest is derived from Sanskrit language word 'Buddhaprasth' meaning 'the seat of Buddha'. It may need further research to establish this fact. burdak 02:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, Sanskrit word "buddha" means "awake". The same meaning have Slavic word "budan", and Slavic languages are of same origin as Sanskrit. Thus, the origin of the name could be Slavic. Also, the word "Pest" means "furnace" in Slavic. Buda and Pest were two separate cities in the past, and only later were united into Budapest. PANONIAN (talk) 21:23, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
The origin of the name is false. It comes from the Slavic name Budimir that is why in Serbian, Croatian and Slovene it has retained the m/n at the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.78.64.105 ( talk) 00:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
The real origin.
Buda was Attila's brother in mythology. Most people thought, that Attila's tomb located there. In medieval age, everybody belived that Hungarians are Huns. —Preceding

Taking in consideration that the Roman latin name for this city was related to aqua (water), make more sense to see BUDA as slavic version of Aquincium. VODA (BODA, later to BUDA) mean water in slavic. This change happened when Bulgarians got the city from Holy Roman Empire and built two Bulgarian military frontier fortresses Buda and Pest(another slavic toponim). —Preceding
