I found this from the most credable book I have ever read:

Balto was one of the lesser huskies, in Sepp's opinion -- definitely a member of the "B" team. He
was considerably larger than Togo and more ruggedly built, but he was a much slower runner. Sepp had
named him for Samuel Johannesen Balto, a famous Sami (SAH-me) and fellow Norwegian who had lived
in Alaska for 24 years and had died shortly before Balto was born. (The Sami are an Arctic herding people
who live in the northern reaches of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.) Seppala's boyhood hero had been
Fridtjof (FRITCH-uff) Nansen, the great Norwegian explorer, and Samuel J. Balto had accompanied
Nansen on the first crossing of the Greenland Ice Cap. Balto's lively sense of humor had buoyed the moody
Nansen's spirits on the long trek across snowdrifts and ice floes. But Balto also had been temperamental,
complaining and even whining when he felt deprived of some food or exhausted by the grueling journey.
Like Nansen, who eventually tired of his Sami guide and declined to invite him on future expeditions.
