Belleville

Ontario city name

Belleville is a common place name in French-speaking regions, meaning "beautiful town." Multiple cities bear the name across France, Canada, and the United States—including cities in Illinois, New Jersey, and Ontario.

The name appears frequently enough that context usually clarifies which Belleville is meant: She grew up in Belleville, just outside of Paris.
