A panorama of Montreal.
Etymology
From French Montréal ; from Mont Royal ( “ Mount Royal ” ) ( mont + royal ) , after the nearby hill by Jacques Cartier. It is uncertain how Royal became -real . A common explanation is that real is the Middle French form of Royal , but Cartier himself recorded le mont Royal when he named it. It may have perhaps been from the Italian G.B. Rasmusio's 1556 map translating the name to Italian Monte Real .[ 1]
