Toponymy

In 1900, this toponym is indicated on the Map of a road leading to the Lake

Saint John to James Bay by the rivers Chamouchouan, Nottaway, Rupert

explored in 1897-98-99 by Henry O'Sullivan, Land Survey Inspector

province of Quebec. The name of the lake evokes the work of life of the surveyor Joseph-Laurent Normandin. The latter had traveled the region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean in 1732 to draw a detailed map of the place by locating the lakes, large and small, and to fix the boundaries of the Domaine du Roi.

Normandin also wrote a journal entitled Journal de voyage that Joseph-Laurent Normandin had made in the King's domain in Canada from the Chicoutimi post office to the height of the land in 1732. During his exploration in 1732, Joseph- Laurent Normandin had designated Lake Normandin under the name "Lac Patchitachekaosakajgane", meaning lake of the height of land.[2][3]

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