Etymology
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[1], but if there's any relation, it might as well be vice versa. The word can also be compared to the Finnish komea (“handsome, beautiful”).
Proper noun
Komi
- A Finno-Ugric language currently spoken by 200,000 to 400,000 people, depending on source and definition of "speaker", in northeastern European part of Russia.
- A republic of Russia. Official name: Komi Republic.
- A region of Russia.
Usage notes
The ISO 639-3 regards Komi (language code kom) as a macrolanguage consisting of two closely related main variants, Komi-Zyrian (kpv) and Komi-Permyak (koi). Komi-Zyrian is an official language in the Komi Republic along with Russian. The Komi-Permyak is mainly spoken in Komi-Permyak Okrug, which does not belong to Komi Republic. The terminology is somewhat confusing as there's cross-usage between Komi, Zyrian and Komi-Zyrian. There are other variants among which at least Komi-Yazva is recognized as language by some sources (not by ISO 639 as of Apr 2014).
