New Canaan: "Canaan" was another name for the whole land of Israel though in a sense the name can be said to pertain more to the northern Ten Tribes section, perhaps even to the "Manasseh" section. Canaan was the name of the Ten Canaanite nations in general as well as one of these nations in particular.
 

[Genesis 10:15] AND CANAAN BEGAT SIDON HIS FIRST BORN, AND HETH,

[Genesis 10:16] AND THE JEBUSITE, AND THE AMORITE, AND THE GIRGASITE,

[Genesis 10:17] AND THE HIVITE, AND THE ARKITE, AND THE SINITE,

[Genesis 10:18] AND THE ARVADITE, AND THE ZEMARITE, AND THE HAMATHITE: AND 
AFTERWARD WERE THE FAMILIES OF THE CANAANITES SPREAD ABROAD.

We see from the above that Canaan begat 11 sons.

[Genesis 10:19] AND THE BORDER OF THE CANAANITES WAS FROM SIDON, AS THOU 
COMEST TO GERAR, UNTO GAZA; AS THOU GOEST, UNTO SODOM, AND GOMORRAH, AND 
ADMAH, AND ZEBOIM, EVEN UNTO LASHA.

God promised all the land of the Canaanites to Abraham. This meant the land of all the sons of Canaan including that of the people known as "Canaan" specifically.

[Genesis 15:18] IN THE SAME DAY THE LORD MADE A COVENANT WITH ABRAM, 
SAYING, UNTO THY SEED HAVE I GIVEN THIS LAND, FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT UNTO 
THE GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER EUPHRATES:

[Genesis 15:19] THE KENITES, AND THE KENIZZITES, AND THE KADMONITES,

[Genesis 15:20] AND THE HITTITES, AND THE PERIZZITES, AND THE REPHAIMS,

[Genesis 15:21] AND THE AMORITES, AND THE CANAANITES, AND THE GIRGASHITES, 
AND THE JEBUSITES.

Here ten nations of "Canaan" are mentioned. One of the nations is also known as  "THE CANAANITES".  The people of Sidon (the firstborn of Canaan) called themselves Canaanites. Sidon was in the territory of the
Tribe of Asher. Canaanite also referred to a people to the south in the region of Manasseh. Heth forefathered the Hittites.  THE HIVITE, AND THE ARKITE, AND ARVADITE, AND ZEMARITE, and HAMATHITE apparently derive from THE KENITES, AND THE KENIZZITES, AND THE KADMONITES. The Girgashites according to tradition left the Land of Canaan just as the Israelites were invading, or sometime beforehand. The Talmud says they went to North Africa to the region of Carthage. Another tradition says they went
to Georgia in southern Russia.

Salem, another name for Jerusalem
North Canaan
Sharon: a geographical region in the west pertaining mainly to Ephraim but
running into Manasseh.

Conneticut shows names associated with Judah, Ephraim, and Manasseh.
Manasseh predominates.
