The term "leaf buds" refers to the small, undeveloped structures found on the branches of a plant that will eventually grow into leaves. These buds contain meristematic cells, which are undifferentiated cells capable of dividing and developing into various types of plant tissues. As the bud grows and differentiates, it forms the structures necessary for photosynthesis and gas exchange, ultimately becoming a fully developed leaf. The term "leaf bud" is used to distinguish these specific buds from other types of buds found on plants, such as flower buds or dormant buds.

The team is named after the Canadian flag, which has a Maple Leaf on it. The nickname "The Buds" fits because leaves on trees come from buds! Many leaf fans refer to their team as "the leafs"

Toronto changed team name to Maple Leafs in 1926. Canada adopted the Leaf flag in 1965. So not named after the flag.
