Uyak is a pretty well known name in Alaska (Kodiak). The AltaVista search engine picked up over 400 Uyak's in a simple search of the Internet. You might be interested in running a search. I found a picture of a very charming child who appears to be attached to an Indonesian email name of Uyak. Good luck.
