==Etymology== The name Udmurt comes from * 'meadow people', from the Permic root * 'meadow, glade, turf, greenery' and murt 'person' (cf. Komi , Mari , Mordvin mirď-), probably an early borrowing from an Iranian language (such as Scythian): * or * meaning 'person, man' (cf. Persian ). This, in turn, is thought to have been borrowed from the Indo-Aryan term * 'man', literally 'mortal, one who is bound to die' ( File:021 Description of all the Russian state-dwelling peoples.jpg| Wotiak woman (Georgi, 1776) File:Vladimir Medeyko congratulates Udmurt language (2018-11-21).ogv|Wikimedia Russia director Vladimir Medeyko congratulates Udmurt language File:Удмурты.jpg|Udmurt women in traditional clothing File:Закамские удмурты.jpg File:Zakama Udmurt mens costume.png|An Udmurt man wearing traditional clothing File:Sep, Italmas Nuk - 48012046556.jpg|Udmurt girls at the Italmas Nuk flower festival in Igrinsky District
