Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located Template:Convert from the center of Paris, between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Le Bourget Airport.

Name

The name Le Blanc-Mesnil was recorded for the first time in the 11th century as Script error: No such module "Lang".. This name is a compound of Medieval Latin Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning 'little houses', from Latin Script error: No such module "Lang". (accusative Script error: No such module "Lang".), and of Germanic (Old Frankish) Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning 'glossy, shining, white', which gave French Script error: No such module "Lang". ('white') and English blank.

The name is interpreted by some as a reference to the houses of Le Blanc-Mesnil which were whitened due to the flour dust coming from the windmills located there in ancient times. One researcher, however, thinks that Script error: No such module "Lang". had also the meaning of 'free' in Old French, and so the name would mean 'free mesnil, free village', perhaps because the villagers had been freed from serfdom. None of these interpretations is certain.
