| Possibly a short form of the baby language endearment term: (aat)tuaruna! (aarsuaruna! - how ugly you are!). Several baby language endearment terms have become Greenlandic personal names, f.ex: 'Nguujuk', which is a short form of : 'iinnguujuk' and 'aannguujuk' (how sweet you are!), and 'Taaraq', a short form of 'Itaaraq' (dear little ugly one), and the baby language form 'Oquna', which stems from 'inequna' (sweet, cute one). Tuaruna is also shortened as 'Tua', which is also to be found in the names register over Greenlandic names, as is the variant: 'Tuarana'. Hypocoristic name | ||||||
