Montmagny is one of the seven named Fogo Seamounts. It was originally named Minia Seamount after a Canadian cable ship that helped search for bodies from the Titanic disaster.{{cite web|url=https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2guides/guides/favart/index-fra.html?lang=fra&lettr=indx_autr8NJnrsJzlZGk&page=9oRg3ixUqrDw.html|title=From Ocean to Ocean: Names of Undersea Features in the Area of the Titanic Wreck|publisher=Public Works And Government Services Canada|date=2015-10-15|accessdate=2021-02-08}} However, this name had already been in use for a seamount further to the northeast and was therefore renamed in 1997 to Montmagny Seamount after the Canadian steamship SS Montmagny.{{cite report|last1=O'Brien|first1=Kathleen|title=Montmagny Seamount|publisher=Geographical Names Board of Canada|year=2000}} This steamship participated in two recovery missions after the Titanic disaster.
