Known as Lutetia (Lutece) in ancient times, Paris was conquered by Julius Caesar in 52 BC and existed as a regional center under the Romans and in the early Middle Ages. This is reflected by divisions such as the Véxin Français and the Véxin Normand, the former being within the King of France's domain, the latter being within the Duke of Normandy's fief.

The area around Paris was the original personal domain of the king of France, as opposed to areas ruled by feudal lords of whom he was the suzerain or sovereign. The name may also inherit from the Frankish Lidle Franke / Lilde Franke, or, 'little France'. Literally, the name 'Island of France' was derived from its being bordered by the rivers Seine, Oise and Marne (tributaries of the Seine) and Beuvronne (a tributary of the Marne), which surround it like an island. The name Isle de France is first recorded in 1387, when the term 'France' designated certain crown territories. The history of Île-de-France ( Isle of France) dates back to the medieval period.
