Canadian Names

Canadian Names adds over 500 town names and 650+ street names drawn from across Canada, organized into six geographic categories so you can tailor the flavour of your map to a specific region.

Categories:

• Canadian (All Provinces & Territories) — The full collection: 514 town names and 651 street names spanning every province and territory. Use this for a broadly Canadian feel.
• Canadian (Maritime Provinces) — 100 towns and 110 streets focused on New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador.
• Canadian (Ontario) — 150 towns and 175 streets, with names organized by sub-region: the GTA, Eastern Ontario, Southwestern Ontario, Northern Ontario, Muskoka, the Kawarthas, and more.
• Canadian (Western Provinces) — 170 towns and 150 streets from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.
• Canadian (Territories) — 50 towns and 100 streets from Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, reflecting the distinct character of Canada's north.
• Québécois — 50 towns and 215 streets presented entirely in French, with authentic Quebec street types (Rue, Boulevard, Avenue, Côte, Impasse, Chemin, Place).

A Note on Indigenous Names

A deliberate effort has been made throughout all categories to incorporate Indigenous place and street names alongside the more familiar colonial-era naming conventions that dominate Canadian geography. Street names drawn from the languages, nations, and territories of First Peoples are present in every regional set — Mi'kmaq, Wolastoqiyik, and Innu names appear in the Maritime set; Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Algonquin, Cree, and Wendat names feature in Ontario; Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, Tsuutʼina, and Nakoda names are included for the West; and BC's coastal and interior nations — Haida, Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, Nlaka'pamux, Syilx, Secwépemc, and others — are represented in the western and all-Canada sets. The Territories set reflects Inuit and Dene place names in the north. This is a small but meaningful counterweight to the dominance of colonial figures and British place names that still define most of the Canadian map.
