Per Əhmədov, related to Persian مارماهی (mārmāhī / mârmâhi, “eel”, literally “snake fish”), although hardly has any ground, judging from Mongolian могой загас (mogoj zagas, “eel”, literally “snake fish”), Buryat могой загаһан (mogoj zagahan, “eel”, literally “snake fish”) and Ossetian калмгӕсаг (kalmgæsag, “eel”, literally “snake fish”). The term being overrepresented makes it difficult to pinpoint the original source.
