(i) Guelph
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guelph
(100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Downtown Toronto)
Quote:
"The current Guelph began as a settlement in the 1820s, started by John Galt, originally from Scotland, the first Superintendent of the Canada Company. He based the headquarters, and his home, in the community. * * * The name Guelph comes from the Italian Guelfo and the Bavarian-Germanic Welf. It is a reference to the reigning British monarch at the time Guelph was founded, King George IV, whose family was from the House of Hanover, a younger branch of the House of Welf sometimes spelled as Guelf or Gwelf.
(A) Great Britain king George IV was of House of Hanover
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Hanover
(table: "Parent house[:] Bonifaci → Obertenghi → Este → Welf;" "George, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, is considered the first member of the House of Hanover [in 1635, whose grandson became George I of Great Britain_
As one can see from the table, House of Hanover's immediate parent is House of Welf that was founded (when or where I fail to find out) by Welf I (c 1035 - c 1101), duke of Bavaria (1070- ).
(B) Canada Company
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Company
(1825-1953; Scottish novelist John Galt was founder and 1st superintendent, who was dismissed in 1829 for poor bookkeeping; The company "aid[ed] in the colonization of a large part of Upper Canada * * * assisted emigrants by providing good ships, low fares, implements and tools, and inexpensive land")
In reference to Lower Canada (present-day Quebec), Upper Canada is the part of Ontario along the Great Lakes.
(ii) City of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebecm was founded in 1757 by Jacques-Hyacinthe Simon dit Delorme, who named it after his patron saint Hyacinth of Poland
(A) Hyacinth (plant)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyacinth_(plant)
(name of a genus [hence the upper case for the first letter]; is native to the eastern Mediterranean (from the south of Turkey through to northern part of the region of Palestine); It is derived from a Greek name used for a plant by Homer, ὑάκινθος (hyákinthos), the flowers supposedly having grown up from the blood of a youth of this name accidentally killed by the god Apollo)
(B) Luuk Dominiek Jansen OP, Saint Hyacinth of Poland. The Dominicans, Province of Ireland (or, Irish Dominicans for short), undated
https://dominicans.ie/saint-hyacinth-of-poland/
("Saint Hyacinth ([Polish:] Jacek)" )
the last three paragraphs:
"Jacek is the common form for the name “Hyacinth”. Literally understood, “Hyacinth” is said to derive from the hyacinth flower or hyacinth stone and thus its meaning has two interpretations.
"In the first place he is called 'Hyacinth,' because the flower has a stalk with a crimson blossom: this suits Blessed Jacek well for he was a simple stalk in his docility of heart, a flower in his chastity, a crimson blossom in his vow of poverty and lack of material goods.
"Secondly, he is called “Hyacinth” from the hyacinth stone, for he shines brilliantly in the way he handed on the teaching of the gospel, was resplendent in his holy way of life, and most steadfast in spreading the catholic faith. For these reasons his name has spread abroad.
* hyacinth

(may refer to "hyacinth, alternative name for yellow zircon, the mineral" whose chemical formula is ZrSiO4, and whose colors "varies between colourless, yellow-golden, red, brown, blue and green" depending on impurities within)
(C) Saint Dominic

(1170 (born as Dominic Guzmán in Spain – 1221 (Bologna, Italy); was granted written authority in 1217 by pope "for an order to be named 'The Order of Preachers' ([Latin:] 'Ordo Praedicatorum,' or 'OP,' popularly known as the Dominican Order)" )
(D) Polish-English dictionary:
* Jacek (proper name; etymology: from Ancient Greek [noun masculine] Huákinthos [hyacinth]) : "a male given name"
