Denim and jeans - where do the names come from? The word jeans come from a kind of material that was made in Europe. The material, called jean, was named after sailors from genoa in Italy, because they wore clothes made from it. The word 'denim' probably came from the name of a French material, serge de nimes: serge (a kind of material) from nimes (a town in France).
