There are many English, German, French and other countries names in the U.S.

You'll find many French city names in the former French state of Louisiana.

Here is a couple from the biggest American cities:

  • Paris, Texas, famous for the eponymous movie by Wim Wenders. Paris is also in several other states.
  • St. Louis, Missouri, which actually gave its name to Louisiana.

There are many French place names from smaller cities too, like Bayonne or Toulon, or from geographical features, like Lake Ponchartrain, or names that are identical to French place names such as Albertville or Macon, or similar, such as Lyons, Marseilles, or the several Rochelle cities, although they might come from a different origin or an older or americanized spelling. And of course the usual generic names such as Bellevue (beautiful view).
