Abstract
This paper deals with the issue Sek El, Çik Il and Çigil ( Çig Il) which was discussed also years ago. Depending on our observations in written sources, we claim that Sek El and Çik Il are the same ethic name and they split off as soon as the Hun Goverment depressed, afterwards, while a part of tribe was staying in motherland in the east, the others came to the west, Middle Europe. But Çik Il was considered as Sek El (Székely) in Europe that it is quite normal. Time to time, the idea of uniting Çik Il and Çigil which is another Turk clan isn’t true for us. Because, examining Turk inscriptions in Ughur era, these are considered as two different Turk tribes which had lived in the same era but different geographies.
