Origin of the name of Toronto

To uncover the origins of the word "Toronto," one must look at archaeological and historical records to determine who would have used the term and to what they might have been referring to.

The name Toronto first appears in the historical record as the "lac de Taranteau" on a map of southern Ontario produced in 1670 by Father Rene de Brehant de Galinee. Interestingly, the name referred to Lake Simcoe and not the area known as Toronto today. French "courieurs de bois" used the term but it clearly is not French. One must look to the native languages spoken in the region to see whether there is a clue to its origins.

The social and political situation in southern Ontario was in a state of flux in the 1600s. Huron peoples lived in the Lake Simcoe region during the first half of the 17th century. Their word "Ouentaronk" is recorded in early European journals with a variety of spellings. There are possible meanings "poles spaced over a distance" or "poles that cross."

The Huron were driven out of the Lake Simcoe area around 1650. By 1666, members of the Iroquois Confederacy -- Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga and Seneca -- had moved into southern Ontario, so it should not be surprising that a Mohawk word was being used for Lake Simcoe. Allowing for different spellings, Lake Simcoe was called some version of "Taronto" between 1670 and 1710. The root "-ront" refers to trees. The original word might have been "Tkaranto" meaning "where there are trees in water."

Free Palestine Martial Arts Rashguard

“It’s a Fantastic Rash Guard and better yet , the proceeds go to a much needed cause. A simple gesture that I stand with the innocent men , women and children of Palestine 🇵🇸!! 🙏 ”

— William J Venator

“Great quality material, it hugs your body (fitted) and its thicker than normal so expect it to feel slightly warmer. Overall the quality is great and the print work is flawless. Highly recommend!”

— Hassan

“Quality of the material and colours are great! Feels very comfortable during physical activities and stays light on the body.”

— Tahir

This martial arts rashguard is inspired by the Palestinian resistance to occupation and sports like running, swimming, Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu where a rash guard is highly recommended to wear under your gi, or if you’re playing no-gi. The colour scheme is of the Palestinian flag, with the red arrow, green, white and black. The tiger and dragon represent martial arts, but also the ferocity of the people fighting for justice and the right to exist of all human beings! Train with new intensity in the

Free Palestine Martial Arts Rashguard by Studio Otesei

Version 1 (Sharifu’s version)

Version 2 (Hassan’s version)

Why? The gut wrenching death toll stands around 40,000+ as on June 2024 (not counting more people under rubble). And when Palestinians should be in tears, they're showing a level of resilience and gratitude that is exemplary of humanity's potential for indominable hope.

Why wear a Palestinian inspired rashguard? Because your values matter and hopefully this interesting design will inspire conversations that help spread peace and love for all human beings. At least we made a statement and spoke out against a genocide.
