The Area

• Ile-de-France: Franciliens (without circumflex accent)
• Franciliens was launched by Michel Giraud which required the downstream of the French Academy; this one gives him in January 1986 and the local press starts to encase the step…
• (the absence of circumflex accent in this Néologisme will be called upon like a precedent by the partisans of a new orthography exposed in the Rapport of the Superior council of the French language on orthographical corrections of 1990 and which envisaged to remove the circumflex accents on the U and the I , therefore on the word island .)
• the old province of Ile-de-France does not seem of other to have gentilé that French as the France itself as the name of the
• French Vexin attests it in opposition to the Norman Vexin
• and of the Brie Frenchwoman in opposition to the Champagne Brie.
• the Romaniste S (specialists in the Romance languages) created the term francian (in 1889 according to the TLFi) to indicate the dialect (spoken in Ile-de-France) supposed being at the origin of the French.
• (One has escaped in any case gentilés the “erudite ones” of the type Franconésiens .)
• the Petit Larousse 2005 with the article Île-de-France (area) gives name Franciliens for its inhabitants.
• the Petit Larousse 2005 with the article Île-de-France (province) does not give name for its inhabitants.

• historical:

• in the past (1960-1976) Paris region (RP): “ Parisiens ”
• the area was initially divided into 3 departments:
• old (1790-1964) department of the the Seine (75): Séquanais
• chief town of the department of the Seine: Paris
• Paris was already divided into 20 urban districts (see with: Arrondissements of Paris) which thus does not merge with the districts subdivisions of the departments.
• chief town of district: Saint-Denis: Dionysiens
• chief town of district: Seals: Scéens
• old (1790-1964) department of Seine-et-Oise (78): Seine-and-Oisiens
• chief town of the department of Seine-et-Oise: Versailles: Of Versailles
• Department of Seine-et-Marne (77): unchanged since 1790: to see further

Its Departments

• the area Île-de-France is composed of 8 departments:
• Paris (75): Parisian ; other derived: Parisine
  Dans the hierarchy area-department-common Paris is a department monocommunal.
• the Essonne (91): Essonniens
• the Petit Larousse 2005 with the article the Essonne (department) gives name Essonniens for its inhabitants.
• Hauts-de-Seine (92): Viola-Séquanais or Haut-Seinais ; one would write better Altoséquanais and Altiséquanais would be formed better.
• the Petit Larousse 2005 with the Hauts-de-Seine article mentions “ Viola-Séquanais or Haut-Seinais ” without granting the Haut .
• Seine-et-Marne (77): Seine-and-Marnais
• the Petit Larousse 2005 gives name Seine-and-Marnais for its inhabitants.
• Seine-Saint-Denis (93) (SSD): Séquano-Dionysiens or Séquanodionysiens
• ( Dionyséquanais based on Dionysioséquanais by Haplologie would as well have made the deal, or it could have been Dionysois just like the inhabitants of Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) are the Dionysiens .)
• According to the tradition (see with: History of the French departments and as in the paragraph History of the article French Departments), the name of the department refers to the physical Géographie, therefore at the same time with the the Seine and the island Saint-Denis (what could be better as to associate a Fleuve with the one of its island S) rather than at the town of Saint-Denis. The Saint-Denis island, called thus because of its proximity with the city of the same name, is made up in commune under the name of the Island-Saint-Denis and its inhabitants are called the Iloséquanais (it was not found trace of Circumflex accent for this Gentilé in the municipal publications).
• the department of the Seine-Saint-Denis is thus so to speak placed under the protection of holy Denis which had the sliced head with Montmartre and miraculeusement transported its head to bury it with the site of current the Basilique Saint-Denis.
• This holy Denis ( sanctus Latin Dionysius in ) bore in fact a pagan name derived from the name of the Greek god Dionysos ( Dionysus with the Latin final) that the Romans had ended up comparing to their national god Bacchus.
• the Gentilé will be perhaps a day supplanted by the number as it is already a little the case in the everyday usage for the Toponyme: one writes the 93 marked Quatre-Vingt-Treize or the 9-3 (and sometimes 9.3 ) marked Neuf-Trois or the Nine-Cubic (by analogy with the meter cubic which have as a symbol m ³ ) and even the Zedou , Verlan of douze=9+3.
• the Petit Larousse 2005 gives name Séquanodionysiens for its inhabitants.
• Chief town of the Seine-Saint-Denis (93): Bobigny: Balbyniens
• the Valley-of-Marne (94): Valley-with-Marnais ; one would write better Valdemarnais
• the Petit Larousse 2005 gives name Valley-with-Marnais for his inhabitants.
• Val-d'Oise (95): Valley-with Oisiens ; one would write better Valdoisiens
• the Petit Larousse 2005 mentions with the Val-d'Oise article the only C-W communication Valdoisiens .
• the the Petit Robert 1 (2003) in its List and at the end Val-d'Oise (with hyphen) gives the name of inhabitant Val of Oisien (without hyphen!).
• Yvelines (78): Yvelinois
• It would be time to make a fate to this Y inherited an antique orthography while starting with Ivelinois .
• the Petit Larousse 2005 in its Yvelines article gives name Yvelinois for its inhabitants.
