Whether you’re instinctively attracted to native Alaskan names, or looking to honor your natural family heritage, you’ve definitely come to the right place if searching for a perfect moniker for your newly-arrived little girl.
Apart from the unique and exotic sound of a name that hails mostly from Greenland, Canada, and Alaska, generally speaking, Inuits view the issue of gender far differently from most of us in the west, meaning that almost all of their names have no allotted gender.
To help you find a name that your beautiful baby inuk will cherish throughout her life, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of Inuit female names. We hope you enjoy browsing through it at your leisure.
