Toponymy

This toponym appears on the 1829 plan of the chief Wendat (Huron); Nicolas Vincent uses the Telahiay spelling to designate this watercourse. In the same year, surveyor-explorer John Adams wrote that the Wendats "call this branch of the Ste. Anne Tilayer ”(Les Ailes Marquées) after a crazy tradition of the removal of an otter by a bird, which would have marked the snow with the tips of its wings. The surveyor Ignace P.-Déry designated this river under the name Talleyarde, in 1862. The surveyor NJE Lefrançois used the current form Rivière Talayarde in his report of 1888.Source: Names and places of Quebec, work of the Commission de toponymie published in 1994 and 1996 in the form of a printed illustrated dictionary, and in that of a CD-ROM produced by the company Micro-Intel, in 1997, from this dictionary. The toponym "Talayarde River" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the
