The Early History of the Hungarian Ethnic Designations
Fred Hamori
The Hungarian nation throughout it's known history has at least three distinct names, not counting the other six tribal names which are also traceable back into antiquity. ( the other tribal names are Kari, Kasi, Kurt-Gyarmat, Tarjan/Tarxan, Jenu, Nyek) These three names whose roots are to be discussed refered more to the leading nation, which also could have had its unique independent origin. Starting with the oldest references and advancing to the newest are the following at different times and different languages.
(1) Sabar-toi Asfali, Subar, Sabir, Savar, Sawardiya
(2) Mas-ar, Masgar, Mazar, Madjar, Magor, Magar, Magyar, Makar
(3) Onogur, Hunugur, Ugor, Ungar, Hungar, Uhor, Venger
