Etymology

Komi an endonym, used by the Finno-Permic Komi people to refer to themselves. It has been compared to Uralic terms for "man" or "human", such as Samoyed qum. An alternative explanation derives it from the name of the River Kama (see K. Redei in R. Khanam (ed.), Encyclopaedic ethnography of Middle-East and Central Asia, vol. 1, 2005, p. 451).
