The Origin and Meaning of Place Names in Canada provides a comprehensive exploration of the rich linguistic and historical tapestry behind the names of Canadian locations. This work serves as an essential reference for understanding how geography and history intersect in the naming of provinces, cities, towns, and natural features across the nation.

The book delves into the diverse origins of Canadian toponymy, tracing names back to their Indigenous, French, British, and other European roots. By examining the etymology of these places, G. H. Armstrong reveals the stories of the explorers, settlers, and native peoples who shaped the country's identity. From the vast stretches of the Prairies to the rugged coastlines of the Maritimes, The Origin and Meaning of Place Names in Canada offers fascinating insights into the cultural heritage and linguistic evolution of the country.
