PSG is called “Germain” because of its association with the area of Paris called “Saint-Germain-des-Prés.” The club’s full name, Paris Saint-Germain, reflects this connection. “Saint-Germain” refers to the historic neighborhood in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, while “des Prés” refers to the meadows that used to exist in the area. Thus, PSG’s name pays homage to its Parisian roots and heritage.
