Meaning & History
Derived from Greenlandic anngak meaning "her brother's child" combined with the suffix -nguujuk meaning "sweet little". (Also compare the Greenlandic kinship terms qangiak/qangiaq "his brother's child" and nuaraluaq and ujoruk, both of which mean "sister's child".) This is the name of a character in a Greenlandic legend which is popular among children.
