Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Proto-Finno-Permic *juma (“sky, god”) + *-la, probably borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dyūman- (“shining, divine”).[1] First attested in 1026 in a description of St. Olaf's journey to Karelia, in which it appears in the form Jómali, referring to a holy statue, possibly of the sky god of the pagan Finns. May also be related to Baltic *Jumala in Latgalian Jumala (“goddess of harvest and fertility”), which could be borrowed from Finnic.
