“The name Udmurt comes from *odo-mort ‘meadow people,’ where the first part represents the Permic root *od(o) ‘meadow, glade, turf, greenery’, and the second part murt means ‘person’ (cf. Komi mort, Mari mari), probably an early borrowing from an Iranian language (such as Scythian): *mertä or *martiya ‘person, man’ (cf. Persian mard), which is thought to have been borrowed from the Indo-Aryan term *maryá- ‘man’, literally ‘mortal, one who is bound to die’ (< PIE *mer- ‘to die’), compare Old Indic márya ‘young warrior’ and Old Indic marut ‘chariot warrior’, both connected specifically with horses and chariots.[6] This is supported by a document dated 1557, in which the Udmurts are referred to as lugovye lyudi ‘meadow people’, alongside the traditional Russian name otyaki.[7]”
