Its actually Ugric. Or Fenno-Ugric . Stretched from Northern Urals to Northern Sweden.
If you look at the map it makes perfect sense. Northern tribes on the coastal side of arctic ocean. Some moved down into today's Hungary during Horde years and established colony in Panonian steppe.
I know Im going to get flamed for this by our Russian "know it all" troll, but another interesting migration is of Nords into Southern Russia down Volga river. I have visited Viking museums in Ireland and Iceland where you can read it in details. Fascinating!
