Why is Paris become capital of France?

Answer 1

Paris, a name story.Paris - the city of love, the capital of France, a major travel destination.
But why is it called Paris?

A history lessonThe Parisii people were a Gallic tribe who inhabited the area from around 250 BC. Officially, Paris was called Lutetia Parisiorum, or Lutetia for short (after "Lutetia of the Parisii").

In 52 BC, Julius Ceasar conquered the 'city' - which was actually then a fishing village on the Île de la Cité. Under the Romans, it spread out across the river bank, becoming more and more important during the reigns of later emperors. The name of the city was also altered to Lutèce.

The city reclaimed its original identity (as being related to the Parisii) by calling itself "Paris" towards the end of the Roman occupation. The Frankish king Clovis I sealed the city's fame and importance by establishing Paris as his capital in the year 508.

It is worth noting that the name for the Parisii tribe is derived from the Celtic Gallic word parisio, meaning "the working people" or "the craftsmen."
Other names for ParisLike so many major cities, Paris enjoys multiple nicknames, its most famous being "La Ville-Lumière" (meaning, "The Light City" but popularly translated as "The City of Lights" or "The City of Light"). The nickname is deserved because of its fame as a center of education and ideas - as well as Paris' early adoption of, well, street lighting.
In the early 20th century, a trend began in which Paris is called Paname, a slang name that has become popular with young people in recent years.
More Paris triviaParis' inhabitants are known in English as "Parisians" and in French as Parisiens. Parisians are often pejoratively called Parigots (term first used in 1900 by those living outside the Paris region, but now the term may be considered endearing by Parisians themselves).
