The words don't have the same origin, but Ossetes are descended from Alans. The Alans stopped calling themselves Alans and started calling themselves Ossetes. Ossetes and Alans are the same people.

Actually, Ossetians didn't have a singular term for the whole ethnic group prior to colonization. Ossetian is derived from Georgian Osi/Oseti, while ethnic Ossetes referred to themselves by their tribal names, such as "Iron", "Digoron" etc.

Whatever, but Alan and Ossete are the same thing. Ossete is just a modern name for Alans.
Digor and Iron are the two main dialects. I've never heard of them being tribes. Also, what do you mean by "etc"? There's just Iron and Digor.

The Ossetian identity evolved in the modern day, like most modern ethnic groups. There were various tribes that evolved separately, but were amalgated into a singular ethnic groups in the 20th century.

There's actually mention of tribal groups in all sources you can find, the one below mentions sixteen Ossetian tribes

In the modern age of course, they aren't tribes per se, but sub groups of the Osette population

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digor_people
The "Iron" subgroup is predominantly Christian too, while the "Digor" are Muslim and Christian mixed.

Finno-Ugric is a useless term(atleast in terms of genetics). Finno-Ugrics have more diversity between them than Slavs to Finns do.
The Guanche skulls as a whole are unlike those of modern European Mediterraneans, and resemble northern European series most closely, especially those in which a brachycephalic element is present, as in Burgundian and Alemanni series.divided them into clearly differentiated types, which include a Mediterranean, a Nordic, a "Guanche," and an Alpine. The "Guanche" accounts for 50 per cent of the whole on the four islands of Teneriffe, Gomera, Gran Canaria, and Hierro; the Nordic for 31 per cent, the Mediterranean for 13 per cent, and the Alpineoldschool anthropology

Finno-Ugric lingustic group ectually no longer exists.
Look at wiki-classification of uralic languages.
But term 'Ugrofinians' in traditional meaning described all uralic
speaking people and N bearers - at least those who speak or
spoke in the past being descendand from Ugrofinian people.
