History
The word "jeans" comes from the French phrase bleu de Gênes, literally the blue Genoa. Jeans fabric, or denim, originated independently in two places: the French town Nîmes, from which 'denim' (de Nîmes) gets its name; and in India, where trousers made denim material were worn by the sailors Dongari Killa, which came to be known as dungarees.
