The name Ontario, from an Iroquoian word sometimes translated as meaning "beautiful lake" or "beautiful water," is apt, since lakes and rivers occupy one-sixth of the province's total area of just over one million km2. The word was first applied in 1641 to the easternmost of the Great Lakes, and "Old Ontario" was used to refer to the southern portion of land nearest the lake and was applied to the whole province in 1867.
