What does the word Canva mean?

Canva is a graphic-design tool website, founded in 2012. It uses a drag-and-drop format and provides access to over a million photographs, graphics, and fonts. It is used by non-designers as well as professionals. The tools can be used for both web and print media design and graphics.

Why is it called Canva?

Canva co-founder Cliff Obrecht was less diplomatic about the early name. “Canvas chef was a crap name” Obrecht said. “Everyone hated that name, including myself.” It wasn't until one of Canva's French engineers explained that Canvas was pronounced “Canva” in French that the startup's name was born, Obrecht said.
