Etymology

From Old Hungarian mogyër.

• The first element (mogy-) is likely from a Proto-Ugric *mańć- ‎(“man, person”), also found in the name of the Mansi (mäńćī, mańśi, måńś). It may have also had a meaning of ‘speaker; messenger’. In this case, it may ultimately derive from Proto-Uralic *mënɜ- ‎(“to say”), the original definition being preserved in magyaráz ‎(“to explain”).
• The second element -ër ‘man’, retained in ember ‘man’ and férj ‎(“husband”), is cognate with Mari erɣǝ, erɣe ‘son, boy’ and Finnish yrkö ‎(“man”). It is from Proto-Uralic *irkä or *ürkä ‎(“man, son, boy”)
