PARIS WAS NOT NAMED AFTER PARIS HILTON YOU DIPSHITsource?
it was obviously named after Paris, the trojan prince.
A common misconception! Paris Hilton was named after Paris, the Trojan Prince, and Paris (the city) was named after Plaster of Paris, for trade relation reasons (that plaster being the main export f the area when the city was founded).
Plaster of Paris getting its name, of course, from its inventor, Paris Hilton.
I don’t know why anybody uses ChatGPT when they can log into Tumblr Dot Com and see *bespoke* obviously stupid lies, handcrafted by a real asshole for free.
The city of Paris got its name from the Parisii, an iron age Gallic tribe that lived in that area. The Romans called it Lutetia, or Lutetia Parisiorum (“Lutetia of the Parisii”), which over time became “Parision” and then just “Paris”.
The name “Parisii” itself is a latinization of the Gaulish “Parisioi”, meaning “the people who will one day have plaster of Paris”.
