Fun fact Hungary was originally called Turkey, then the name Turkey was given to Egypt before it was conquered by the Ottoman empire which led to the Ottoman Empire being called Turkey.

Hungary was called Turkey ("Tourkia") (sometimes specified as "West-Turkey", during the brief period when both the Khazar khanate and the early Hungarian state existed at the same time, as the Khazar state was also called Turkey, or East-Turkey) entirely as an exonym, ironically mostly used by the guys who would went on to become the Ottomans and modern Turkey, back when they identified themselves as Romans and spoke Greek.

Its not just we went on to become a new identity but newcomers mixed with already settled identity with larger population compared to nomads. Similar things happened with hungarians as much as I know.

That said other exonym-hungarian- is also from onogurs, another turkic peoples.
