In 1867 the BNA Act (British North America Act) took 3 "colonies" together which became known as Canada.
The literal translation of the word, "Canada" is from an Iroquoi (native) word meaning "settlement' or "village".

O, CANADA (National Anthem English Version)
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide O Canada,
we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
