Arca
[ˈaːrka]Meaning
Latin arca, "chest, storehouse"; also a Galician, Portuguese and Italian surname
Background Story
The English word comes from that surname. Carl Linnaeus used the Latin noun for a genus of saltwater mussels, naming it after Noah's Ark because the interior of the shell resembles a wooden boat. A user-submitted entry records Arca as a given name in Turkish, used for both men and women.
