| Although it is tempting to interpret the name to"anaanagissoq" (the One with the good Mother), it is more likely that the name means: "the well-made female". A significant number of Greenlandic stems have to do with 'arnaq' (girl/woman), it is also common to give names according to appearance, examples: Ulaajuk (well-shaped/round one), Angutitsiaq (the handsome or good man), Taorana (a pleasure to watch), Pinnernaq (the beautiful one), Eri (short form of "eriarnaq" from Thule Inuit: good companion, pretty/beautiful) etc. | ||||||
