More than 140,000 members of this Finno-Ugric ethnic group live in Russia, primarily in the Komi Republic in the northwest of the country. According to one version, the ethnonym ‘Komi’ means ‘living on the Kama River,’ while another says it means ‘man, human.’ They are also called Komi-Zyryans, in order to distinguish them from the related Komi-Permyaks.
