Saint-Tropez is a combination of two words:
* Saint: This refers to a holy person, in this case, Saint Tropez, a 6th-century Christian martyr.
* Tropez: This is the name of the saint.
Therefore, the full meaning of "Saint-Tropez" is "Saint Tropez's place" or "The place of Saint Tropez".
Over time, the name has been shortened to "St Tropez", which is the most common way to refer to the town today.
