In summary

From Middle French canot (“little boat”, also “dugout”), partly continuing (in diminutive form) Old French cane (“boat, ship”), from Middle Low German kane (“boat”), from Old Saxon *kano, from Proto-West Germanic *kanō, from Proto-Germanic *kanô (“boat, vessel”) (compare German Kahn (“boat”)); and partly from an alteration of Middle French canoe (“dugout made from the trunk of a tree”), from Spanish canoa (“dugout canoe”).
