@globeandmail: U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he is considering changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America” as the trade war between the United States and Canada intensifies. “The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don’t expect to [be] doing much business with Ontario any longer,” Trump said Tuesday on social media. Such a change would be reminiscent of the Republican president’s unilateral action last year by executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Canadian Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said on Tuesday that Canada would "always call it Lake Ontario.” #CdnPoli #Canada #UnitedStates

Americans don’t understand the history of Lake Ontario it’s name comes from indigenous Wyandot and Iroquoian words meaning Great Lake or beautiful lake it’s culture

Lake Ontario gets its name from an Indigenous term, most likely from the Wendat (Huron) language. The name is generally traced to “ontaríio”, meaning something like “lake of shining waters” or “beautiful lake.” French explorers adopted the name as Lac Ontario in the 17th century. Interestingly, the province of Ontario was later named after the lake—not the other way around.
