Paris Fun Facts:Paris’s original name was Lutetia Parisiorum (called Lutèce in French), and the settlers there were Celts
known as the “Parisii.” It is commonly believed that
“Lutetia” comes from the Latin word “lutum,” meaning “mud.” So the elegant, glittering city
that we all know and love, most likely was first known as “mud
town of the Parisii.”
