Jiepmaluokta

Hjemmeluftbukta (Norwegian) or Jiepmaluokta (Northern Sami) is a bay in Alta Municipality, Finnmark, Norway.

The bay lies on the southwestern edge of the town of Alta.

[3] The ending -luft (air) comes from the accusative and genitive form of the Sámi noun luokta (bay) or "luovtta" which is pronounced "luofta".

The Norwegian version's hjemme- (home) may indicate that at an earlier stage the toponym was Jiemmaluokta - the difference being that jiepma is rendered in genitive, making the name mean "seal's bay".

In Norwegian, that place is called Saraby and lies in the neighboring Hammerfest Municipality.
