The name "Alaska" (Аляска) was already introduced in the Russian colonial time, when it was used only for the peninsula and is derived from the Aleut alaxsxaq, meaning "the mainland" or more literally, "the object toward which the action of the sea is directed". It is also known as Alyeska, the "great land", an Aleut word derived from the same root.
