How did the city of Montreal get its name?

Montreal is an island city on the Saint Lawrence River in Canada. The city was first named by European settlers as Ville Marie. However, the city is now named after one of the famous geographical features of the island, a hill consisting of three peaks named Mount Royal. It is situated at a height of 232 m above sea level.
