Alaska Kassabian

**Alaska Kassabian** is the daughter of an English professor father and television executive mother. Last year was a roller coaster for Alaska. She starred in a reality television show highlighting her extravagant 13th birthday party, bringing her fame and a ton of Simstagram followers. On the other side, her parents got divorced, and she moved in with her dad. Hopefully, this year will be smooth sailing for Alaska.

## Onomatology

The name Alaska references the US state whose name was derived from the Aleut word "Alaxsxaq," which means "object to which the action of the sea is directed" or "mainland". Alaska might actually be named after the delicious and elaborate dish, Baked Alaska, though. Alaska's middle name, Nicole, is more common, and is the feminine version of the name Nicholas, which means "victory of the people". An altruistic and compassionate young woman, this name encapsulates Alaska's giving spirit. Her last name, Kassabian, is Armenian, and means "son of a butcher", which could make a humorous term of contempt.
