- This is about the Italian city of Milan. For other uses, see Milan (disambiguation).
Milan (Italian: Milano; Milanese: Milán) is the main city of northern Italy, and is located in the plains of Lombardy, the most populated and developed region in Italy, being often mistaken with the capital of the country. The city proper has about 1,308,500 inhabitants (2004), but the population of the urban area (La Grande Milano, Greater Milan) is 4,280,820 people (2006 estimate). Calculated within European terms, Milan's metropolitan area covers an area similar to that of Paris with a population of more than 7 million people. Milan's so-called Città Regione (City Region) claims more than 9.4 million inhabitants. The Città Regione area is comparable to the Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) of the United States.
Milan's name comes from the Celtic Medelhan, meaning "in the middle of the plain", due either to its location in a plain close to the confluence of two small rivers, the Olona and the Seveso, or perhaps due to its being close to and roughly equidistant from two major rivers, the Ticino and the Adda. Its Latin name, Mediolanum roughly meaning "wool in the middle" also built on Celtic lore: Celts saw the boar as a mythical animal, and according to a prophecy, the site for the settlement would have been indicated to a Celtic king by the appearance of a wild pig or boar with a ridge of hair along its back, as reported by Cardano around 1626:
- Nel fabricar de le superbe mura
- De la prima Città ch'abbian gl'Insubri
- Uscì da i fondamenti un gran Cinghiale,
- Mezzo di pel setoso, e mezzo ignudo,
- Onde MILAN chiamossi
- Da gli Hedui, o Borgognoni, o pur da i Franchi,
- Da cui l'origine hebbe,
- Che altri di MEZZA LANA dir potrebbe
- While building the majestic wall
- Of the first Town of Insubres
- From the foundation a big boar came
- Half with silk hair, and half bare
- Therefore MILAN was called
- From Hedui, or Burgundians or even from Franks
- From which the origin came
- That other could call of half wool
