Paris
feminine
This reflects the first name on its own. The full-name report scores the complete combination separately.
Check it with a full name ↓Paris carries two distinct, unrelated documented lanes: a masculine Greek mythological name (Trojan prince Paris/Alexandros, etymology uncertain, possibly Luwian or Hittite) and a feminine name transferred from the French capital city, itself named after the ancient Gaulish tribe the Parisii. The two lanes are not etymologically connected beyond sharing a spelling.
Why it works
- English speakers will almost certainly pronounce it correctly on the first try
- spelling is short and predictable — rarely needs repeating
Popularity
Uncommon — #592 in the latest U.S. ranking.
Origin & usage
In the US, current usage is predominantly the feminine, place-name-transfer sense associated with celebrity culture (particularly Paris Hilton), distinct from the older masculine mythological sense tied to the Trojan War story; both lanes are documented as genuinely separate rather than the same name reused.
