Canada’s name comes from a centuries-old misunderstanding. In the 1500s, French explorers heard local St. Lawrence Iroquoian people use the word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement,” for a small community near today’s Quebec City. The French thought it referred to the whole land and began using “Canada” on maps for a much larger area. Over time, the name spread and became the name of the entire country. #Canada #NameOrigin #HistoryTok #HiddenStories #CountryNames #FunFact | Pyramid Secret
