(ΠάÏις) Greek name probably derived from the word pari, PARIS means "wager." In mythology, this is the name of the son of Priam who kidnapped HelénÄ“ and later fatally wounded Achilles. Because it had been prophesied that he would cause the collapse of Troy, his father gave him to a shepherd to be destroyed. The shepherd could not bring himself to kill the baby so he left him in the desert. Five days later he found the infant still alive and decided to "take a chance," and raise the child himself. He named the baby Paris. Compare with another form of Paris.
