English 'Paris' comes from the Gaulish tribal name Parīsiī, a Celtic word of uncertain meaning — the tribe gave their name to the city that replaced the Roman Lutetia on the Seine.
The capital city of France, situated on the River Seine in northern France.
English 'Paris' derives from Latin 'Parīsiī' (also 'Parisii'), the name of the Gaulish Celtic tribe that inhabited the area. The Romans called their settlement 'Lutetia Parisiorum' ('Lutetia of the Parisii'), later shortened to just 'Parisii' and then 'Paris'. The tribal name itself is of uncertain Celtic etymology. Proposals include a connection to the Gaulish word *pario- meaning 'cauldron' (compare Welsh 'pair'), or to *paris meaning 'craftsmen' or 'commanders'. The association with the Trojan prince Paris is pure folk
