==Etymology==
{{hatnote|See [[wikt:Paris|Wiktionary]] for the name of Paris in various languages other than English and French.}}
The ancient [[oppidum]] that corresponds to the modern city of Paris was first mentioned in the mid-1st century BC by [[Julius Caesar]] as ''Luteciam Parisiorum'' ('[[Lutetia]] of the [[Parisii (France)|Parisii]]') and is later attested as ''Parision'' in the 5th century AD, then as ''Paris'' in 1265.{{Sfn|Nègre|1990|p=155}}<ref name="Falileyev" /> During the Roman period, it was commonly known as {{Lang|la|Lutetia}} or {{Lang|la|Lutecia}} in Latin, and as ''Leukotekía'' in Greek, which is interpreted as either stemming from the [[Celtic languages|Celtic]] root ''*lukot-'' ('mouse'), or from *''luto-'' ('marsh, swamp').{{Sfn|Lambert|1994|p=38}}{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=211}}<ref name="Falileyev" />

The name ''Paris'' is derived from its early inhabitants, the [[Parisii (France)|Parisii]], a [[Gauls|Gallic]] tribe from the [[La Tène culture|Iron Age]] and the [[Roman period]].{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=247}} The meaning of the Gaulish [[ethnonym]] remains debated. According to [[Xavier Delamarre]], it may derive from the Celtic root ''pario-'' ('cauldron').{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=247}} [[Alfred Holder]] interpreted the name as 'the makers' or 'the commanders', by comparing it to the [[Welsh language|Welsh]] ''peryff'' ('lord, commander'), both possibly descending from a [[Proto-Celtic]] form reconstructed as *''kwar-is-io''-.{{Sfn|Busse|2006|p=199}} Alternatively, [[Pierre-Yves Lambert]] proposed to translate ''Parisii'' as the 'spear people', by connecting the first element to the [[Old Irish]] ''carr'' ('spear'), derived from an earlier *''kwar-sā''.<ref name="Falileyev">{{harvnb|Falileyev|2010}}, s.v. ''Parisii'' and ''Lutetia''.</ref> In any case, the city's name is not related to the [[Paris (mythology)|Paris]] of [[Greek mythology]].

Residents of the city are known in English as Parisians and in French as ''Parisiens'' ({{IPA|fr|paʁizjɛ̃||Parisien2.ogg}}). They are also pejoratively called ''Parigots'' ({{IPA|fr|paʁiɡo||Parigot.ogg}}).<ref group="note">The word was most likely created by Parisians of the lower popular class who spoke *argot*, then *parigot* was used in a provocative manner outside the Parisian region and throughout France to mean Parisians in general.</ref>{{sfn|Dottin|1920|p=535}}
