The fourth-listed son of Ham and grandson of Noah.
(Ge 9:18; 10:6; 1Ch 1:8)........... He was the progenitor of 11 tribes who eventually inhabited the region along the eastern Mediterranean between Egypt and Syria
, thereby giving it the name “the land of Canaan.”—Ge 10:15-19; 1Ch 16:18
Canaan came under Noah’s prophetic curse foretelling that Canaan would become the slave of both Shem and Japheth. (Ge 9:20-27)

I found this entry for "Canaanite" in a Bible dictionary:
In the case of Matt. 10: 4 and Mark 3: 18, which refer to Simon, one of the Twelve, the word should be Cananaean rather than Canaanite; it has reference to his political attachments rather than his lineage or geographical point of origin. Simon is also called a Zelote in Luke 6: 15 and Acts 1: 13, Zelote probably having reference to the Zealots founded by Judas of Gamala, which sect was called the Cananaeans, and who openly opposed the census of Cyrenius. In other instances, Canaanite refers to land of origin or lineage through Canaan, son of Ham, as in Gen. 10: 6-19; Gen. 12: 5-6; Abr. 1: 21.

i think you have enough answers to clarify it. But i would like to point out that the Canaanites are not to be confused with the kenites which are decendents of Cain. thanx
