For those who read German, there is a very nice discussion on the history of the name, located at:
http://www.hunsrueck.com/

The name was first found in a 1074 Cloister record and there are 20 some different theories about the origin of the name, which basically distill down into 5 groups. One group centers around the the theory that the name is based on the Huns which came through the region. The topic has been debated for over 300 years without any resolution. :)
