Except of course the correct verb form is "canonize". Even worse
than incorrect spelling is incorrect conjugation.
No, actually. "canonize" is a verb meaning to declare something

here is something which takes a name and *translate* to its canonical
form. The vernacular is that "canonicalize" has that meaning.
