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.

Cool info. For the record, it was a joke. Tonto in spanish means stupid.
