The name Canada is a Portuguese name!
Several historians say that the name is American Indian, or several other things.
Their explanations are simply based on ignorance of Portuguese language, and also on ignorance of the Portuguese discoveries.
Some Anglo-Saxon so called historians pretend that they do not know because they are naive, they do not want to give credit to the Portuguese navigators. But the truth is like olive oil, always comes to the surface!...

Canada is in Portuguese the name meaning a narrow passage near a brook or small river, or then a narrow street, where usually there is plenty of wind.

This
is the first sign of Canada in the the world. |
In the Azores there are plenty of Canadas, as narrow streets.
The origin of Canada as a name of a site comes from Tavira, the city in Algarve, where the Corte Real family of navigators originated, and they had properties.
The origin of the name Canada is very well described in the book entitled "Tavira , Terra dos Corte Reais" -- "Tavira de land of Corte Reais" -- written by Dr. Adérito Fernandez Vaz, from Tavira. Year 2000.
A translation of the paragraph written by Dr. Adérito Vaz will be placed here:
The Corte Reais named several places -- Canada -- in the Island of Terceira in the Azores where they had their own house and gave the same name of Canada to severals spots where they arrived in the new World in North America.
