'''Villejuif''' ({{IPA-|fr|vilʒɥif|-|Fr-Paris--Villejuif.ogg}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the southern suburbs of [[Paris]], [[France]]. It is located {{convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} from the [[Kilometre Zero|centre of Paris]].
 
==Name==
 
The earliest reference to this placeVillejuif appears in a bill signed by the [[Pope Callixtus II]] on 27 November 27, 1119. It refers to Villa Judea, the Latinized version of the Old French expression meaning 'Jewish settlement'. During the following centuries, the toponym appears as Villejuifve, that is, following the archaic French spelling of the expression with the same meaning, cognate to modern French Villejuive. The French author from the 17th century Louis Moréri indicates that the settlement was founded by Jews expelled from Paris. This idea, however, remains speculative: as available medieval Christian and Jewish sources do not mention the existence of the Jewish community in this place. For this reason, the exact role of Jews in the inception or the development of this town remains obscure. During the 20th century, certain authors suggested other etymological explanations that are, nevertheless, even more speculative and, moreover, do not explain the known Latin and medieval French spellings.
