From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

From Proto-Finnic *noori (young) (compare Estonian noor), probably from Proto-Uralic *ńëre (moist, wet?) (compare Northern Sami njuoras, Erzya and Moksha нар (nar, weed, grass), Udmurt нюр (ńur, bog, swamp), Northern Mansi [script needed] (ńār), Hungarian nyirkos, Tundra Nenets [script needed] (nyer)). Proto-Samic *nuorë (whence Northern Sami nuorra) is likely borrowed from Finnic.[1][2]
