| ▸ | Navarana | N S | Navarana | |||
| "The One That Alternates Between Different Parties". From the Proto-Eskimo: naverar-, which in Yupik has evolved into meaning 'to exchange', 'to trade' or 'to borrow', ending with the names suffix -na. The stem might be related to 'niruver-' (niuver-), which in Greenlandic has evolved into meaning 'to trade'. Navarana is the main character in a legend which is known among most Inuit tribes, the name depicts an activity where a person alternated between two different tribes and ended up creating disunity. In Greenland it was a woman between the Norsemen and the Greenlanders, in other Inuit tribes it was an activity between Inuit and Indians. The name has developed different variants throughout time, such as Avranna or Aijanna in Inuvialuit and Inuinnaqtun, where the main character was a male, among Inuit in Labrador it was an Indian woman named Javraganak. The stem nava- is also used as a name in the legend of Navagiaq, where N. travels from animal to animal as a soul and ends up crawling into a woman and become born again among humans. The ending -giaq suggests the meaning 'travel' or 'be out'. In Iñupiaq, the shore bird 'Least Sandpiper (Calidris minutilla)' is in some places known as navaluġauraq, perhaps due to its flying back and forth by the shore. Number of name bearers: Navarana 65 (in Grl.). 18 (in DK). | ||||||

| ▸ | Quneq | S | K'uneκ | |||
| 'sweet', 'beautiful.' A short form of '(ine)qunaaq' (the sweet, adorable one). The Eastern Greenlandic name from the same stem as 'Qunaaq' is 'Qunerseeq', which carries the same meaning. Likewise Quneqitooq which means 'the very sweet or beautiful one' was a name for a woman from Uummannaq who had moved to north of Upernavik in the 1880s. Other names with the same meaning is the Western Greenlandic girls and boys name 'Qunerna' (one whom one finds sweet/attractive) and the Western Greenlandic girls name 'Quniganna'. The word 'quniitsoq' with the opposite meaning: 'the ugly/untidy' one can be found in the dictionary, the Eastern Greenlandic girls and boys hypocoristic name 'Quninngi' (the not attractive/sweet one) is also derived from this stem. | ||||||
