HistoryEskimo name reported to mean "snow" or "snowy"; submitted in 1898 by J. E Spurr and W. S. Post, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The stream's lower course was once called "Quinhak," "Quinahak," or "Quinhagak." G. L. Harrington in 1919 stated "another explanation of the word 'Kanektok' gives it as of doubtful origin, an d means 'a long way from the post,' and (though I fail to see the connection) wa s named from the nearby horizontal S.S. (sandstone) beds in the foothills through which the stream passes."
