Montreal, or Montréal in French, (pronounced in Canadian English, in Quebec French, and in European French) is the second-largestcity in Canada and the largest city in the province of Quebec. Originally called Ville-Marie (literally 'City-Mary', translated 'Mary's City' or 'City of Mary'), the city takes its present name from the Mont Réal (as it was pronounced in Middle French , or Mont Royal "royal mountain" in present French), the three-head hill at the heart of the city, which was also initially given to the island on which the city stands.
