Possibly derived from the stem 'nuiaq' (cloud) with the name suffix -na at the end. Even though Alf Berthelsen, medical doctor and name researcher, wrote in his comprehensive article re. Greenlandic names (Navngivning i Grønland, Meddelelser om Grønland nr. 56, 1918, p. 283) that an astonishingly few Greenlandic names originated from the everyday trade and industry, it is possible that the stem 'nui-' from sewing and basket making activities could have been used as a source for this name. |
