Timiskaming
Timiskaming is a word from the Algonquin ''Temikami'' or ''Temikaming'', from ''tim'' meaning "deep" and ''kami'' meaning "open waters". Alternate spellings include: Temiskaming, Témiscaming, Témiscamingue. The word Temagami comes from the same root. Controversy exists over the spelling of this word. A movement to change the spelling of the District of Timiskaming to Temiskaming (an e instead of an i) cites a typographical error by a government official, but the act of parliament that led to the name change granted this official authority to correct the spelling. What he considered to be a spelling correction, some people today call a spelling mistake. The spelling controversy goes back to the 18th century.
