Paride

Paride is a male given name used in Italian. It is the Italian form of Paris, the name of the mythological Trojan prince who judged the beauty contest between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and who, by awarding the golden apple to Aphrodite, incited the abduction of Helen and the Trojan War. In Italian translations of classical works, the character is typically rendered as Paride. The etymology of the name Paris is uncertain; it appears in Greek sources from antiquity and has been interpreted in various ways by scholars.

In modern times, Paride remains a traditional Italian given name, though it is relatively uncommon outside Italian-speaking populations. It may appear in literature, cinema, and genealogical records as the bearer’s first name. The name is sometimes encountered in historical biographies and in fictional contexts, reflecting its classical heritage.
