The best-known "arc de triomphe" is a French monument in Paris. The name means "Triumphal Arch" in English, and comes from the Latin words "arcus" (arc, arch, bow) and "triumphus", so the monument is in fact named after its architecture and not after someone or by a special name.

The Arc de Triomphe "de l'étoile" is named this because of its location (on the "star" square up the Champs-Elysees, while the Arc du Carrousel stands by the Louvre (a carrousel was a circle where horses where trained).

It is pronounced "ark-duh-tree-omph (deh-ley-twa-ll)".
