About Paris
The first famous Paris was a mythological prince of incredible beauty. The most recent was media darling Paris Hilton, inspirer of a generation of baby-girl namesakes. But since Pierce Brosnan and other celebs have continued to use it for their sons, the name retains some masculine identity. For girls, it jumped from #464 to #412 in the past year alone.
Pronounced PAR-is.
As of October 2026, Paris ranked #2326 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #556 in 1890.
Editor's take: The name Paris is a boy's name of French origin.
