HelpRe: Huskies
in reply to a message by Siân
Some name sites say it's eskimo and means "hill". But take that with a grain of salt, baby name sites aren't always reliable.
It would make sense for a shelter to pick Eskimo names for Huskies.

If they are saying it's Eskimo I'd throw the meaning out. Eskimo is pretty derogatory and Inuit is the correct term.

Some sites say Eskimo, some say Inuit. Some say Native American. One says Chinese. One says Japanese. One says Kikuyu.
Most baby name sites just copy each other, so if one wrote "Eskimo" a bunch more will do it, politically correct or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good to know. Thanks.
Not terrible name ideas, but am I the only one who would have named them Russian or Kazakh names because they're Siberian huskies?
