The name "canola" was created from "Canada" and "oil, low acid" because putting bottles labeled "rape oil" on supermarket shelves seeemed like a bad idea.
Additional fun fact, rape is a brassica, putting it in the same genus as Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli--but all of those are actually the same species, Brassica oleracea, just different cultivars!
