Parmesan is the English name for parmigiano, an Italian cheese, and there are a few varieties (such as Padana and Reggiano). There are versions made in other countries as well. Argentina produces a version of Reggiano called Reggianito, for example, which is based on the Italian cheese. Laws dictate who can use the name reggiano (similar to how many wine names are protected) so if it has that deisngation, it's from Italy. However, there are also versions of parmesan made locally in many countries.
