Gazetteers are an excellent source for place names. A gazetteer is something like a land dictionary, it describes places and place names along with showing locations on a map. You can find gazetteers in our print collection under the call number 917.11 or 917.15.  Another helpful print resource in our collection is:

Ham, Penny.  Place Names of Manitoba.  (Saskatoon, Sask. Western Producer Prairie Books. 1980.)
