Canada's name, since July 1, 1867, always been, simply, Canada. This is the name used in all treaties, contracts and international legal proceedings.
The word "dominion" was never part of Canada's name. It was merely used as a word of description in section 3 of the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act).
Until the latter half of the 20th century, it was widely thought that Canada derives its name form the Mohawk word "kanata", which means "village". However, Jacques Cartier's writings show that the name actually came from the St.Lawrence-Iroquis word "canada", which has a similar meaning to the Mohawk word.
