Beauvais is the name of a town in France which derives its name from the Gaulish tribe that lived in that area. The name of the tribe was the Bellovakes and the town was called Bellovacum by the Romans, much later this became Beauvais.

There are other places which have the name Beauvais elsewhere in France, where the etymology is explained as Beau vois which means a fine way or route.
