Because they are on completely different sides of the equator.
Eskimos live in the Arctic where there are no penguins (penguins are found in the Antarctic) so they don't call them anything.
Yes penguins are hunted.

A long time go Penguins were hunted for a source of food and oil. But I don't think they are hunted anymore.

Because there aren't any penguins around to hunt.
Eskimos live in the Arctic (North Pole region) and the penguins live in the Antarctic (South Pole region), they are in opposite sides of the Earth.Eskimos live in or near the Arctic circle in the northern hemisphere. Penguins are found on Antarctica and surrounding islands in the southern hemisphere. They are very far apart. This, of course, does not prove Eskimos will not eat penguin, as they could import penguin meat (if it is legal) or travel to Antarctica to eat penguin.
Penguins are mostly not hunted for food or commercial purposes. However, some species of penguins face threats from human activities such as habitat destruction, oil spills, and climate change, which can impact their populations. Overall, penguins are more commonly studied, observed, and protected in their natural habitats.
Penguins are not native to the Arctic regions where Eskimos traditionally reside, so they would not have been a preferred pet for Eskimos. Additionally, penguins are not domesticated animals and have specific environmental and dietary needs that would be difficult to meet in the Arctic. It is more likely that Eskimos would have preferred domesticated animals like dogs for companionship and assistance with hunting and transportation.
