To be fair most places in North America seem to be named after European places, possibly with a 'new' prefix. So I don't think it's fair to single out Ontario here.

Not in this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario#Etymology

However, it'd be fascinating to see some mapping showing in detail where most place names are from in a region.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_state_and_territory_na... has the states, but it'd be more fun to dive into towns, rivers, mountains, etc...
