Угорщина

Ukrainian

Etymology

From угорський (uhorsʹkyj, “Hungarian”) +‎ -ина (-yna) with "-цьк" changing to "-чч" due to alternation. For cognates see Medieval Latin Ungaria, Medieval Latin Hungaria, Medieval Greek Ούγγροι (Oúngroi, “Hungarians”), all ultimately borrowed from Oghur *On-Ogur (“ten (tribes) of the Ogur”), referring to the Utigur Bulgar tribal confederacy which ruled the eastern parts of Hungary prior to the arrival of the Magyars (Hungarians).

Compare with Ukrainian Словаччина (Slovaččyna, “Slovakia”) from словацький (slovacʹkyj, “Slovak”) +‎ -ина (-yna), or Ukrainian Туреччина (Tureččyna, “Turkey”) from турецький (turecʹkyj, “Turkish”) +‎ -ина (-yna). The same word-building model is used in Belarusian Ангельшчына (Anhjelʹščyna, “England”).
