Question about "Orchestra" names?

This forum includes music, so I thought I'd ask it in here. Hopefully there are some knowledgeable music people who can answer this?

Some cities have a "Symphony Orchestra" and some cities have a "Phiharmonic Orchestra", and some have both! What do these terms actually mean? Is there a difference? Just wondering.

i.e. Vancouver Symphony Orchestra
Toronto Symphony Orchestra

Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra
New York Philharmonic Orchestra
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra
