Chevilly-Larue

Chevilly-Larue () is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located from the center of Paris.
Name.
Chevilly-Larue was originally called simply Chevilly. The name Chevilly was recorded for the first time in 829 (in a donation by Eucade, bishop of Paris) as "Civiliacum", probably meaning "estate of Civilis", a Gallo-Roman landowner.
On 5 September 1921 the name of the commune officially became Chevilly-Larue in order to distinguish it from the homonymous commune of Chevilly in the Loiret "département". Larue was a hamlet located within the commune. Founded at the end of the Hundred Years' War along the small road from L'Haÿ-les-Roses to Fresnes, it was originally called "La Ruelle" (meaning "the lane", the "alleyway"), later corrupted into "La Rue" and eventually Larue.
