Leaves (together) have entirely different meanings though. The leaves of the oak trees are religioâ¦us symbols of faith and endurance. Ivy leaves symbolize a strong and lasting friendship.

It's believed that the maple leaf became a Canadian symbol as early as the 1700's. Indians have been using the sap of the trees for food long before Canada saw ships on its horizon. Several groups used the Maple Leaf as a symbol in the 1800's, including its use on the badge of the 100th Regiment. The same year (1860) it was used as a decorative theme for the Prince of Wales visit. Alexander Muir wrote The Maple Leaf Forever in 1867 as a song for Confederation.
