Ontario is the original name of the lake, at least as an anglicized form of Oniatarí:io, the Iroquoian name of the lake.

Ah well that sucks then. I retract my original statement. I just figure it came from the Canadian province name which I did not know had indigenous origins.

I maintain that caring about what it is called on google maps or Trump renaming it is pointless.
