Ca·na'di·an (kə-nā'dē-ən) adj. & n.
WORD HISTORY Linguistically, mountains can be made out of molehills, so to speak: words denoting a small thing can, over time, come to denote something much larger. This is the case with Canada, now the name of the second-largest country in the world but having a much humbler origin. Apparently its history starts with the word kanata, which in Huron (an Iroquoian language of eastern Canada) meant “village.” Jacques Cartier, the early French explorer, picked up the word and used it to refer to the land around his settlement, now part of Quebec City. By the 18th century it referred to all of New France, which extended from the St. Lawrence River to the Great Lakes and down into what is now the American Midwest. In 1759, the British conquered New France and used the name Quebec for the colony north of the St. Lawrence River, and Canada for the rest of the territory. Eventually, as the territory increased in size and the present arrangement of the provinces developed, Canada applied to all the land north of the United States and east of Alaska. |

The Ottawa Senators play their home game in Kanata, Ontario (its 10-15 minutes west of Ottawa). This suburb of Ottawa is named after the word the natives used for "Village". |

Canada is derived from the word "kanata", which is Indian for village. |

Initially from "Kanata"
It means village in the Iroquois language, but the French Explorer Jacques Cartier mistook it for the name of the land. So the next thing you know it starts appearing on maps. |
