the word parka is of Aleut origin, although one source says "The name parka comes from the Nenets language, which belongs to the Uralic language family, along with Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian. No English speakers were around to hear the Nenets speak of parkas, but the Russians did, and they passed the word on to native peoples in Alaska, who in turn gave it to us. The first English use of the word is in William Coxe's 1780 Account of the Russian Discoveries Between Asia and America:"The inhabitants of Alaxa, Umnak, Unalaksha ... wear coats (parki) made of bird skins."
