>Medieval legend?

The medieval legend refers to "Magor", i.e. "Hunor" and
"Magor". But these probably reflect the dual ethnic-linguistic
situation within the Hungarian confederation: the Turkic (Onogur)
ruling strata, and the ugric Magyars.

Meshcherskaya nizmennost, Meshcherskoye, in Russia, contain an
older version of this ethnonym.

(I don't know whether there is or there is no link to the name
of another Ob-Ugric people, the Mansi people (living in the
Khanty-Mansi autonomous region).
