Meaning & History
This is believed to have originated as a nursery form of the Greenlandic word inequnartoq "sweet, cute", shortened and simplified to natuk through the common custom of babbling or cooing with a baby. Otherwise it may be a short form of the old name Arnatuk meaning "soul/name wandering" from arnattoq, which is ultimately derived from arnappoq "seeks a mother", referring to the mythological concept of a soul being born into different shapes and animals before crawling into the womb of a woman to be born again and reclaim his name.(Source: Oqaasileriffik.gl)
