Paris owes its name to a Gaulish cauldron

The origin of the ethnonym of the Parisii, a Gaulish people who gave their name to Paris, remains uncertain but possesses a notable hypothesis. According to Pierre-Henry Billy, the term could derive from pario, which means cauldron in Gaulish. This name would refer to a mythical and sacred dimension linked to the cauldron of abundance in the Celtic tradition.
