| In Samuel Kleinschmidt’s dictionary ‘Den grønlandske ordbog’ from 1871 it states (p. 381): "wild thyme, how this name was given to this herb is not clear” (Latin name: thymus praecox arcticus). The plant was used as a tea against colds and as an ingredient i meat dishes, soups, and at present in cakes. The name may have derived from tupaarpoq: 'becomes awake.' It is probable that it was a plant name prior to becoming a girls name. | ||||||
