Etymology


The world Canada means "village" or "settlement".
From the early 17th century onwards, that part of New France that lay along the Saint Lawrence River and the northern shores of the Great Lakes was named Canada, an area that was later split into two British colonies, Upper Canada and Lower Canada, until their re-unification as the Province of Canada in 1841. Upon Confederation in 1867, the name canada was adopted as the legal name for the new Country, and Dominion was confered as the country'title; combined, the term Dominion of Canada was in common usage until the 1950s. Thereafter, as Canada asserted its political autonomy from Britain, the federal government increasingly used simply Canada on state doc uments and treaties, a change that was reflected in the renaming of the national holiday from Dominion Day to Canada Day in 1982.
