Qillaq

Qillaq is a Greenlandic masculine given name meaning "seal hide". The name reflects the central role of seals in traditional Inuit culture, where seal skins were used for clothing, kayaks, and shelter.

The Greenlandic language belongs to the Eskimo-Aleut family and is closely related to Inuktitut spoken in Canada. Names deriving from animals and natural resources are common in these cultures, emphasizing survival and respect for the environment.

There are no widely known historical figures with this name, and it remains relatively rare even within Greenland. Qillaq may also be encountered as a surname, though less frequently.
