The name of the country, the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (district), goes back to the Nenets people, who live here, mainly on the Yamal Peninsula. It is about 44.000 sq.mi. in size and is located northeast of the northern end of the Ural Mountains and extends west of the mouth of the Ob River into the Kara Sea. The Nenets were formerly called "Samoyed", which means "self-eater". To avoid this disrespectful name, this name has been less and less used during the 20th century and instead of it the term "Nenets" from the language of this people was used, which means "people". Another common name for the Nenets was "Yurak". The Nenetian word "Yamal" means "end of the land".
