Or transliterated - Aliáska (compared to laskat-)
The name “Alaska” (Russian: Аляска, romanized: Alyaska) was introduced in the Russian colonial period when it was used to refer to the Alaska Peninsula. It was derived from an Aleut-language idiom, alaxsxaq, meaning “the mainland” or, more literally, “the object towards which the action of the sea is directed”.
And Alaska was part of Russia for a while… makes me wonder what it was called back then?

Nice to see that they took an Aleut word.
The diminutive form is Алясочка / Alyasochka, I learned that from a Lyube song
