No Evidence Google Renamed Lake Ontario to “Lake America”
Claims that Google Maps renamed Lake Ontario to “Lake America” for US users are not supported by any credible official record. Donald Trump’s administration renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” in US federal geographic records in 2025. There is no comparable documented US decision to rename Lake Ontario, which lies along the US-Canada border. Lake Ontario remains its recognised name on major mapping services. The claim appears to confuse the Gulf of Mexico naming dispute with a separate, unverified story about Lake Ontario.
