The Prix de Rome or Grand Prix de Rome was a French scholarship for arts students, initially for painters and sculptors, that was established in 1663 during the reign of Louis XIV of France. Winners were awarded a bursary that allowed them to stay in Rome for three to five years at the expense of the state. The prize was extended to architecture in 1720, music in 1803 and engraving in 1804. The prestigious award was abolished in 1968 by André Malraux, then Minister of Culture, following the May 68 riots that called for cultural change.

In many French-speaking countries, Jean is a male name derived from the Old French Jehan. The female equivalent is Jeanne and derives from the Old French Jehanne. Both names derive from the Latin name Johannes, itself from the Koine Greek name Ioannes (Ιωαννης), the name used for various New Testament characters, most notably John the Baptist. The Greek name ultimately derives from the Biblical Hebrew name Yochanan (יוֹחָנָן), meaning "YHWH/Yahweh is Gracious".
