Yes, Greenlandics are called Eskimos even though no, Icelanders are not so called. The term comes from ayas̆kimew in the Montagnais language of non-Inuit peoples known as the Innu and translates literally as "a person who laces a snowshoe" in English. It historically tends to be applied to indigenous populations of Alaska, Canada, eastern Siberia and of Greenland.
