| ▸ | 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. | ||||||
