Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Uncertain:

• Possibly borrowed from Bulgar 𐰆𐰍𐰔 (*oǧur-) (whence also Byzantine Greek Όνόγουροι (Ónógouroi)), the name of the Onoğurs, probably meaning "the ten tribes", from Old Turkic 𐰆𐰣 (on, “ten”) + 𐰆𐰍𐰔 (oɣuz, “tribe”) (see the Wikipedia article on Onoğurs).
• Alternatively borrowed from an early stage of Proto-Permic (whence Komi-Zyrian йӧгра (jögra)), with the loss of an initial j- (*jǫgъrinъ > *ǫgъrinъ). The initial consonant is seen in the Old East Slavic form югра (jugra). It is argued that it is improbable that this term was borrowed as late as the 7th century, considering the much earlier arrival of the Hungarians.
