Someone asked me if that girl was Hungary, so I answered, 'I don't know, Alaska...'

But seriously, folks...

...the name was first used by Russian explorers in the 18th century when they borrowed it from the Aleut word 'alaxsxaq', which literally meant: 'the object toward which the action of the sea is directed'.
