The French word for mermaid is sirene. The Latin origin for this word is serene, and it appears in the Romance Languages and also in the Phillippines for the word mermaid.

Another French word for mermaid is la luxure, which means double-tailed, referring to double-tailed mermaids.

There are two famous mermaid stories from France, one is called Melusina and the other is Ondine.
