To understand how Montreal got its name; one must look at the history of a charming 600 foot high mountain that is situated close to what is today, Montreal's downtown area. The mountain was named Mont Réal (Réal's mountain) in honor of an early French settler from France. In addition, Montreal was originally called Ville-Marie (the city of Mary) by early Catholic French settlers from France. At some point, the mountain's name of Mont Réal was changed to Mont Royal (Mount Royal in English); however, in honor of the family name Réal, the city of Ville-Marie was changed to Mont Réal or Montreal as we know it today.
