what is the meaning of the word toronto
Name of Toronto Prior to the Iroquois inhabitation of the Toronto region, the Wyandot (Huron) people inhabited the region, later moving north to the area around Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. The word "toronto", meaning "plenty" appears in a French lexicon of the Huron language in 1632.[3] Toronto however, did not appear on any map of the region before 1650.[3] After 1650, and the destruction of Fort Sainte Marie, the Hurons left the region.[4]
