		After the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, the original spelling was intended to be “Qurluqtuq” which means "the place of moving water" in the native Inuinnaqtun language, to reflect its location near the river.
		However, the spelling was fouled during the official naming process, since Kugluktuk literally means "two startled people".
