Tutoring Canadian geography, you might mention the Annapolis Valley. The tutor investigates the meaning of the name Annapolis.<\/h1>\n

As a kid I spent three years in the Annapolis Valley. Typical of the Maritimes, it had beautiful summer and fall but winter was long.<\/p>\n

There is also an Annapolis in Maryland; noticing it, I decided to find the meaning of Annapolis.<\/p>\n

It turns out that Anna (Hebrew: Hannah) was the name of the Virgin Mary’s mother. In Greek a polis<\/em> is a small, unified community having unique identity and customs. In an agricultural society, the polis would include the land its inhabitants farm.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Annapolis might mean Anna’s Village. The name ties the village to the Virgin Mary’s mother Anna. When I lived in the Annapolis Valley, religion was prominent there:)<\/p>\n
