Lake Superior got its name form the Ojibwe language,the lake is called Gichigami,meaning "Big Water."
Lake Superior was initially called "Kitchi Gami" by the Ojibwa people that arrived here around 1500. A later name was "Grand Lac," which appears on a map published in 1623 from information from Etienne Brule's explorations (and those of others). Jesuits, upon arrival, called the lake "Lac Tracy," and when the English came to power they called it "Lake Superior," a simple translation of the French name "Grand Lac." kooooooooooooooooooooooooool ojibway owns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111 nooooooooooooooooooooo mohawk owns harder not cree owns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
