Canadian, conversely, comes from the Iroquoian word "kanata" meaning (approximately) "village". So the story goes, some settler fuck asked where they were, and were told that they were in the village and just... didn't really know that didn't mean the whole-ass place. Similar to how the river near me got named the Saugeen (which means mouth of the river, so... the mouth of the river river).
Creole is a fuzzy term used to describe "new"-worldy types among the latin colonizers.
