    The origin of the system of the tribes among the Magyars has not been discovered yet, but they have been distributed into seven tribes by the middle of the Ninth Century. The seven tribes (Jenő, Kér, Keszi, Kürt-Gyarmat, Megyer, Nyék and Tarján) formed a confederation called "Hétmagyar" (ie, "The Seven Magyars").

    Quote:

    The Árpáds or Arpads (Hungarian: Árpádok, Croatian: Arpadovići, Serbian: Арпадовићи, Slovak: Arpádovci,Turkish: Arpatlar) was the ruling dynasty of the federation of the Magyar tribes (9th-10th centuries) and of the Kingdom of Hungary (1000/1001-1301). The dynasty was named after Grand Prince Árpád who was the head of the tribal federation when the Magyars occupied the Carpathian Basin around 896.

    Possibly you are thinking of the Székely people?
