Definition: In English, "Argenteuil" refers to a location on the Isle of Man. It's a small village situated just outside St. George's Bay, the administrative seat of the island. The village is surrounded by a large natural park called Argenteuil Park and it has its own church. The name "Argenteuil" comes from the island itself, which stands 107 miles (170 kilometers) long. In Greek mythology, Argentius was the king who was killed in battle; the word "argenteuil" is a diminutive of his name meaning "short"; thus, Argenteuil refers to a short person.
