Origin: Celtic

Meaning: Of Paris; Patrician nobleman

Known for its architectural wonders, world-class museums, gourmet dining, and romantic allure, Paris is a city that has inspired many. Some may even consider it a name for their child, which is where the latest variant, Parriss, comes into play. Parriss is derived from the Old French name Patrice and the Latin Patricus, meaning "Patrician nobleman." Most will link Parriss to the iconic French city. Still, many don't know that Paris gets its title from the Parissi, a group of Celtic people who settled amidst the marshy swamps of the River Seine long before the Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe were built. Gift your tout petit with a moniker to link them to this sophisticated and historical city of love, fashion, and art.
