Why is Toronto called Toronto?

Answer 1

The Word Toronto means "Meeting Place", Since Toronto is Canada's Largest City, It is where all the business is done, and where politics takes place. It is called the meeting place because Toronto is where most of the countries important stuff gets done and where the government meets.

===================================

There is another theory as to the meaning of the word "Toronto." Many are of the opinion that it means "trees in the water."

Lake Simcoe was at one time called Lac de Toronto, and the first nations footpath leading from the mouth of the Humber River to Lake Simcoe was known as the Toronto Portage.

In Lake Simcoe, as well as at the Toronto Island, there used to be many trees that appeared to be growing out of the water.
