Ce toponyme provient de l'algonquien « kebec » ou « kepac » qui signifie « rétrécissement, passage étroit », nom qui fait sans doute référence au fleuve Saint-Laurent qui se rétrécit avant d'arriver devant la ville de Québec
- Dude, Im english...can anyone translate that?
I'll try to translate what I've written in French, but English isn't my native language so thanks for improving my syntax, spelling etc. :
This toponym comes from the algonquien word "kebec" or "kepac" that means "narrowing, narrow path". This name is probably used in reference to the Saint Lawrence River that is narrowing before it pass in front of the city.
