Aqissiaq

This animal name sails from Greenland, where it's an elaboration on the word ptarmigan, aqisseq, referring to a ptarmigan chick. But the arctic bird is not the name's only significant namesake: Aqissiaq is also the name of the protagonist of a well-known Greenlandic folk story, making this a layered cultural choice.

Pronounced ah-KIS-ee-ack.
