Wikipedia description:

Humåtak (formerly Umatac) is a village on the southwestern coast of the United States territory of Guam. The month of March in the Chamorro language is "Umatalaf," or "to catch guatafi," which is believed to be the root word of Umatac. The village's population has decreased since the island's 2010 census, and it is by far the least populated village on the island. Mount Bolanos, at an elevation of 368 m (1,207 ft), is the third highest peak of Guam and lies 4.5 km (2.8 mi) away. On August 18, 2021, the municipality place name was officially changed from Umatac to Humåtak.
