What does Paris mean?
/ˈpæɹɪs/2 syllablesOrigin: place-name transfer and Ancient Greek

Paris carries a double history: as a place name it refers to the French capital, itself named for the ancient Parisii tribe who settled the site of what became Lutetia. Separately, in Greek mythology, Paris is the Trojan prince whose abduction of Helen set off the Trojan War.

Paris feels effortlessly chic, a name that suits a pet with striking looks and an air of easy confidence.
