Torontos

Torontos is a term that does not designate a recognized place, region, or population in standard English reference works. It is not listed as the name of a city, county, or geographic entity in major atlases. The closest widely known reference is Toronto, a major city in Ontario, Canada, and the standard demonym for its residents is Torontonian.

In English-language usage, Torontos can appear as a misspelling or informal plural of Toronto in online discussions, or as a fictional or branding name in literature, games, or marketing. In encyclopedic writing, Torontos would be avoided unless referring to a specific fictional place with that exact name.

Etymology: The city of Toronto derives from the Mohawk word tkaró:ton, meaning "where there are trees standing in the water." The form Torontos has no established etymology in relation to that origin and is not used in authoritative sources to denote the Canadian city or its people.

Notable instances: Without a widely accepted definition, Torontos has no official status as a city, region, or demonym. If encountered, the intended referent should be clarified from context.
