History
Paris started life as the Celto-Roman settlement of Lutetia on the Ile de la Cite, the island in the Seine currently occupied by the Cathédrale de Notre Dame. It takes its present name from name of the dominant Gallo-Celtic tribe in the region, the Parisii. At least that's what the Romans called them, when they showed up in 52 BCE and established their city Lutetia on the left bank of the Seine, in what is now called the "Latin Quarter" in the 5th arrondissement.
