არქტიკა=Arctic=αρκτικός
ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY
late 14c., artik, from Old French artique, from Medieval Latin articus,
from Latin arcticus, from Greek arktikos "of the north," literally "of
the (constellation) Bear," from arktos "bear; Ursa Major; the region of
the north," the Bear being a northerly constellation. From *rkto-, the
usual Indo-European base for "bear" (cf. Avestan aresho, Armenian arj,
Albanian ari, Latin ursus, Welsh arth); see bear (n.) for why the name
changed in Germanic. The -c- was restored from 1550s. As a noun, "the
Arctic regions," from 1560s.
