Named After Property

[edit]

Winnipeg was not named after Lake Winnipeg. It was named for the Cree word for "muddy waters". Jimj wpg (talk) 15:43, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was taken from the lake, but the meaning is "smelly waters". The Cree also une this word for the Hudson Bay. --Fralambert (talk) 23:20, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
