Jumala

Finnish: Jumala or Estonian: Jumal or Mari: Jumo means "god" in Finnic languages and Volga-Finnic languages, both the Christian god and any other deity of any religion. The word is thought to have been the name of a sky god of the ancient Finnic-speaking peoples. Jumala as a "god of the sky" is associated with the related Estonian Jumal, Mari Jumo, Udmurt Inmar, Komi Jen, Nenets Num, and Bjarmian Jomali and is thought to stem from an ancient Uralic "god of the sky" tradition.
