“According to surveyor Joseph Bouchette, Lac-Édouard is named after a trapper from Batiscan. According to another surveyor, J. P. Mullarkey, the trapper was Édouard Jeannotte, who left his first name to the lake and his surname to the Rivière Jeannotte, the southwestern arm of the Batiscan, which drains from Lac Édouard.”
