The name “Canada” likely comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.”

The name Australia derives from Latin australis meaning southern, and dates back to 2nd century legends of an "unknown southern land" (that is terra australis incognita). The explorer Matthew Flinders named the land Terra Australis, which was later abbreviated to the current form.
