The Alans conquered and settled in parts of Iberia and Lusitania in 409/410. All documented historical sources name the group as Alans.

An original contemporary source, Hydatius Chronicle:

HYDATII EPISCOPI CHRONICON

XV. Alani, et Wandali, et Suevi Hispanias ingressi aera CCCCXLVII, alii quarto kalendas, alii tertio idus Octobris memorant die, tertia feria, Honorio VIII et Theodosio Arcadii filio III consulibus

XVII. Subversis memorata plagarum grassatione Hispaniae provinciis, barbari ad pacem ineundam, Domino miserante conversi, sorte ad inhabitandum sibi provinciarum dividunt regiones. Gallaeciam Wandali occupant et Suevi, sitam in extremitate Oceani maris occidua. Alani Lusitaniam et Carthaginiensem provincias, et Wandali cognomine Silingi Baeticam sortiuntur. Hispani per civitates et castella residui a plagis, barbarorum per provincias dominantium se subjiciunt servituti.

XXII. (Olymp. CCXCIX.) Ataulfus a patricio Constantio pulsatus, ut relicta Narbona Hispanias peteret, per quemdam Gothum apud Barcinonam [Ms. Barcelonam] inter familiares fabulas jugulatur. Cui succedens Wallia in regno, cum patricio Constantio pace mox facta, Alanis et Wandalis Silingis, in Lusitania et Baetica sedentibus adversatur.

Hydatius or Idacius (c. 400— c. 469), bishop of Aquae Flaviae in the Roman province of Gallaecia (almost certainly the modern Chaves, Portugal, in the modern district of Vila Real) was the author of a chronicle of his own times that provides us with our best evidence for the history of Hispania in the 5th century.

So the Alans in Western Iberia were one specific group of the Northern Iranian speaking languages related to the Sarmatians, Scythians, Massagetae, all related but with specific histories and locations. A very good book that we can read extracts is "Sources on the Alans: a critical compilation" Agustí Alemany.

Claudius Marius Victor wrote in his poem Alethia about the primitive religion of the Alans making of sacrifices to the spirit’s of one’s ancestors and mentions that swords figured prominently in the religion of the ancient Alans as well
