Meaning & History

French:

  • 1. from a learned variant of Old French pareis ‘Paradise’, Greek paradeisos (see Paradise). As a toponym this was applied to verdant places, and it is quite common as a place name in Nord and Normandy; the surname, therefore, can be a topographic or habitational name.
  • 2. topographic name from Old French parvis ‘square in front of a church’.

    • FOREBEARS A Paradis from the Perche region of France is documented in Quebec City in 1653.
