Paris is pronounced /ˈpʰæɹɪs/ in English, and 
/paʀi/ in French.
The original Latin name of Paris was Lutetia (/lutetja/), or Lutetia Parisiorum, known in French as Lutèce (/lytɛs/). Lutetia was later dropped in favor of only Paris, based on the name of the Gallic Parisi tribe, whose name perhaps comes from the Celtic Gallic word parios, meaning "caldron", but this is not certain.
Traditionally Paris was known as Paname (/panam/) in French slang, but this vulgar appellation is gradually losing currency. (ⓘ.)
The inhabitants of Paris are known as Parisians in English, as Parisiens (/paʀizjɛ̃/) in French. The pejorative term Parigot (/paʀigo/) is sometimes used in French slang.
Locally, inhabitants of the Paris suburbs are known as banlieusards (/bɑ̃ljøzaʀ/). Inhabitants of the whole Paris metropolitan area are known as Franciliens (/fʀɑ̃siljɛ̃/), i.e. from Île-de-France.
