The Toronto Raptors were named following a contest held in 1994 to choose a name for the NBA's expansion team. The name "Raptors" was inspired by the popularity of dinosaurs, particularly due to the success of the movie "Jurassic Park," which was released around the same time. The name reflects both the team's Canadian identity and a unique, memorable branding that distinguishes it in the league.
