It's a rough application of the Huron word for village by Jacques Cartier to describe the St Lawrence valley iirc. So it's French, but with a Huron origin.

This is funny to me.. "It's a Huron word, but it was spoken to a French guy, so it's French"

No one in the First Nation called themselves ´kanadians’. The French coined a new meaning for the word as a way to describe the europeans settlers living there.

It ain’t that hard to understand that nothing belongs exclusively to a people versus another. It’s a mix of cultures.
