Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Asena je novodobé turecké ženské meno späté s vlčím motívom v povestiach o pôvode starých Turkov a s dynastickým menom Ašina (Aşina, Ashina). V starších čínskych záznamoch zostáva vlčica bez mena; označenie Asena sa s ňou ustálilo až v modernej tureckej tradícii. Etymológia mena Ašina nie je bezpečne vyriešená: spája sa najmä s východoiránskym alebo tocharským pomenovaním modrej či tmavomodrej farby, prípadne s inými výkladmi.
