Etymology
The name Gharmaaqtuq is a combination of many different linguistic influences, including those of the Dziŋeeh Kuolas, Böyawetlan and Maaq languages. The most commonly agreed upon origin story is that when the Maaq people migrated from the Far South of Deteros, they came upon the archipelago which is now called Gharmaaqtuq, labelling it Gaulamaaqmuuqtuq, which means "Lands With The Moving Mountain People". Overtime, the traditional Maaq language evolved into contemporary Gharmaaq due to heavy influences from external peoples such as the Uluu Dzon, Böyawetlat and Vasalpin. The name was simplified and the "Gh" sound from the Dziŋeeh Kuolas language of the Uluu Dzon was added at the start of the name, creating the name Gharmaaqtuq.
