Quebec

Quebec is a name that is most often used for female children. Most people are familiar with the word since it is the name of a historic and beautiful province in Canada. However, the name has a deeper meaning as well. The meaning of 'Quebec' is 'where the river narrows'. In the city of Quebec, Canada, there is a section wherein the Saint Lawrence river becomes very narrow. This section of the city is where this word originated from. 
The name is of Algonquin origin and many parents choose this name for their babies for its uniqueness as well as for the way in which it hints at the history of the Quebec province. The Algonquin were people from the southern regions of Quebec and the eastern regions of Ontario. These indigenous Canadian people used a language called Algonquian, which is still spoken in some parts of Canada. The other language used in such regions is French. The name has also been used by the famous 19th-century English writer, Charles Dickens. A character named Quebec can be found in his popular novel, 'Bleak House' - which was originally published in the mid-19th century.
