Relating to or characteristic of the Arctic region and its peoples.
From Latin 'arcticus' (Arctic) combined with '-alian' suffix denoting relationship or belonging. The Latin comes from Greek 'arktikos' meaning 'of the bear,' referencing the constellation Ursa Major near the North Pole.
The word 'Arctic' itself comes from the Greek word for 'bear' because ancient stargazers saw a great bear constellation in the northern sky—so when you say 'arctalian,' you're really talking about something that belongs to 'the bear place!'
