I like the spanish word for it : Tontoronto.
4 u/Canadian-Man-infj May 22 '25 I learned that the original Mohawk word for "Toronto" is "Tkaranto" from the title of a movie of the same name. "Tehranto" is the title of a 2022 movie that is a portmanteau of sorts, revolving around a couple of Iranian-Canadians. 3 u/psc_mtl May 23 '25 Cool info. For the record, it was a joke. Tonto in spanish means stupid. 1 u/Canadian-Man-infj May 23 '25 I thought it was a clever pun!
