what is the meaning of the word toronto?
capital
when europeans first arrived at the site of present-day toronto, the vicinity was inhabited by the iroquois, who had displaced the wyandot (huron) people, occupants of the region for centuries before c. 1500. the name "toronto" is likely derived from the iroquoian word , meaning "place where trees stand in the water". this refers to the northern end of what is now lake simcoe, where the huron had planted tree saplings to corral fish. however, the word "toronto", meaning "plenty" also appears in a 1632 french lexicon of the huron language, which is also an iroquoian language. it also appears on french maps referring to various locations, including georgian bay, lake simcoe, and several rivers. a portage route from lake ontario to lake huron running through this point, known as the toronto carrying-place trail, led to widespread use of the name.
