| Hypocoristic name. Meaning: the Genuinely Loved One. From the stem asa- (asasaq, the Loved One), and the postbase -pak (final k and t alternates in frequent use, especially in personal names). The postbase -pak is archaic. In the Yupik dialect it is used with the meaning large, big, to be very, all. In Iñupiaq in Alaska and in Canadian Inuvialuit the ending is used in words such as umiaqpak, large umiaq= ship. Asarpat often is intermingled with the Biblical Asaph. | ||||||
