Eskimo and Inuit Names for Huskies and Other Dog Breeds

Just a little help on two of your unknown names. Tulukaruq (you've spelled it with a k) is Central Yup'ik for Raven. Sitka was the capitol of Alaska before it was moved to Juneau. It means "people on the outside of Shee" with Shee being the Tlingit word for Baranof Island.

I didnt like any of these names they're all to plain, and not what i was looking for

Best dog ever. Truly a pack animal. Loves to lay on my feet when I am at the kitchen sink. That is my Natasha's spot. They each have their own spot. My Nikita loved French baguettes. They love to box with other huskies on their hind legs. They definitely talk to you. My Nikita loved to run free. Only problem is once they get the call of the wild they will climb a six foot fence to run wild. Mine got out and was 25 miles from home when a fellow called me to ask if I was missing something. He said he was Nikita was the most beautiful blue eyed Husky he has ever seen. Natasha was sable colored with blue eyes.

When my daughter was born in February I laid her on a sheepskin rug to catch the afternoon sun. The dogs raised her. If she got fussy they would come get me and whine until I picked her up. She spent her first year of life on the floor with them. She spent that time trying to get to them. She would crawl over to where they were and snuggle. I never heard her cry because the dogs wouldn't let her. They treated her like one of their puppies and would lick her face. I told my daughter that when it was time to marry that she absolutely marry a 'dog man.' I said that because if the fellow didn't like dogs he would never last...and I was right. She did marry a 'dog man' and now they have their own.

The name fits her well. She is the boss of my other dog.

what does this name mean?

Hi there. I recently rescued a young husky/long haired sheppard mix. My bf and I cant figure out what name to give her. Any suggestions please? I really like the inuit/eskimo/indian names.

Really enjoyed your lens and will remember it when we get another Husky in the future. Our family has been rescuing Siberian Huskies for several years and adopting some of them as our beloved furry friends. At present, we have a remaining 17 year old white blue eyed Siberian Husky female out of 3 we had (2 passed away in 2010). Tasha rules the home and is so loving! Some geriatric care required at her age but she is so resilient and determined to walk an average of 2 to 3 hours per day at different times, must be what is keeping her going and going! Beautiful breed, cannot imagine owning any other breed. Great influence for long regular walks, good for everyone. Enjoyed your lens very much, thank you for your insights about dog names!

an old friend had a beautiful Husky named Eric... regardless of the name, they are beautiful dogs..

awwww
