In 1535, two Aboriginal youths used the word " Kanata, " which means " village " to refer not only to Stadacona ( that is Quebec city now adays ) but also to the entire area subject to Donnacona, by 1547, applied the word " Canada " to the area north of the St. Lawrence gulf. The first use " Canada " as an official name came in 1791 when the Constitutional Act divided Quebec, into the provinces of Upper Canada and Lower Canada.
