Etymology
The word 'Καναδός' refers to a person from Canada and is derived from the name of the country itself. The term has been adopted into Modern Greek from the English 'Canadian', which in turn comes from the name 'Canada', originally derived from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word 'kanata', meaning 'village' or 'settlement'.
