Toponymy

This hydronym evokes the work of life of the surveyor Paul Malouin (1884-1945), born in Quebec City. The latter undertook studies at the School of Surveying at Laval University in 1904. Received surveyor-surveyor in 1910, he joined the same year with the surveyor Paul Joncas under the enterprise name "Joncas and Malouin".

The designation "Malouin River" is indicated on a regional map of the Abitibi of the Department of Lands and Forests in 1962. In 1895, explorer Henry O'Sullivan named this watercourse "Rivière du Mariage" (English: The River of Marriage) or "Birthday", having discovered him on September 15, 20th anniversary day of his marriage.[3]

The hydronym "Malouin River" was formalized on December 5, 1968 by the Commission de toponymie du Québec, i.e. at the creation of this commission.[4]
