From French canarie, from Spanish canario, from the Latin Canariae insulae (“Canary Islands”) (Spanish Islas Canarias); from the largest island Insula Canaria (“Dog Island" or "Canine Island”), named for its dogs, from canārius (“canine”), from canis (“dog”).

Based on the geography of the Canary Islands, between Bermudan and European.

From 1907, coined by the football club's then-chairman who was a keen breeder of canaries.
