Paella is a Valencian word which derives from the Old French word paelle for pan, which in turn comes from the Latin word patella for pan. The word paella is also related to paila used in many Latin American countries.

The Latin root patella from which paella derives is also akin to the modern French poÃªle, the Italian padella and the Old Spanish padilla.
