Lutetia was a pre-Roman Gallic town. The Romans called it Lutetia Parisiorum. This town was the "ancestor" of present-day Paris.

Indirectly, Julius Caesar. The town was called LUTETIA and was occupied by a tribe whose (latinised) name was the PARISII. Caesar therefore called the place LUTETIA PARISIORUM (Lutetia of the Parisii), and down the centuries the first part dropped away.
The tribe living there was the Parisii( in Latin). Thus the place became known as Lutetia Parisiorum - Lutetia of the Parisii. There is a general tendency for people to use only the latter half of a two-word place name, and that's what happened here.
The name Paris derives from that of its inhabitants, the Gaulish tribe known as the Parisii. The city was called Lutetia (/lutetja/) (more fully, Lutetia Parisiorum, "Lutetia of the Parisii"), during the first- to sixth-century Roman occupation, but during the reign of Julian the Apostate (360-363) the city was renamed Paris.[14]Others consider that the name of the Parisii tribe comes from the Celtic Gallic word parisio meaning "the working people" or "the craftsmen."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris)
