Canary
Spanish island chain
Canary appears in Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off northwest Africa, and in related terms like Canary Current.
The islands gave their name to the canary bird, not the reverse—the name derives from Latin for dogs, referring to large dogs once found there. (Lowercase canary is the bird or color.)
