Huron is a French term that literally translates as boor. The term Huron may be applied to an American Indian confederacy of people who formerly occupied the area between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay. It is also used to refer to one who is part of this confederacy. The noun could also be used to describe the language of the Hurons. It could also refer to Lake Huron which is the second largest among the Great Lakes.

The Wyandot, also called the Wendat, are native inhabitants of North America, who were originally from the region of what is present-day Quebec and Southern Ontario in Canada. The Huron was the term given to the people of a four-tribe confederacy by early French explorers.

Huron is a popular name that features in a number of places, parks, bodies of water and so on. For example, Huron is a town in California, while C-12 Huron is an aircraft.
