Origins of the Names

edit
  • Manitoba was named for Lake Manitoba, from the combined Assiniboine words Mini and tobow meaning "Lake of the Prairie" or Cree word maniotwapow meaning the strait of the spirit or manitobau

If any of it is useful to this page or missing from this page, please use it.

  • Quebec was named for the Algonquin word meaning strait or narrowing (Kebec); other variations Quebecq — Levasseur 1601, Kébec - Lescarbot 1609, Québec — Champlain 1613
