from
Wikipedia
One missionary, Jean de Brébeuf, was the first to write about lacrosse and thus gave it its name.
He described the Huron Indians playing in 1636.
Some say the name originated from the French term for field hockey, le jeu de la crosse.
Others suggest that it was named after the crosier, a staff carried by bishops.
