Meaning & History

Name of a city in CANADA, from French le mont Royal "mont royal". Jacques Cartier named it after the nearby mountain, but 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.
