The first French speaking unit was the "22nd (French Canadian) Infantry Battalion CEF" that went to France where the unit was broken up to provide reinforcements. In April 1920, a new Regiment was formed using veterans of the 22nd Battalion and in 1921, King George V renamed the Regiment bestowing them the title "Royal." The nickname of the 22e is the "Van Doos" which is from "Ving-deux" which is 22 in French.
