Meaning & History
Means “bear cub.” I initially thought it was an Inuit name but a speaker of Athabasca thought otherwise. Originally I found it in a list of sled dog names and named my Alaskan Malamute x German Shepherd Dog Keeyush. Periodically I searched for others with the name and in ~2015 I encountered a few people with the name whereas previously I’d seen it only as a dog name.
