As far as I remember Pagan comes from Pagani, which I believe is vulgar Latin for 'peasant' or 'dweller in the countryside'.
Cool! This: I did not Know…Is that confirmable?
Is the correct pronounciation:
PAY-gahn-ee
pay-GAHN-ee
pay-gahn-EE PAY-gahn-aye
pay-GAHN-aye
pay-gahn-AYE or something else entire? |

"A" does not have an "ay" ("English "hay") pronunciation. Un-accented syllables have a short, or schwa sound. so: puh-GAHN-i (short "i") "I" never has an Eglish long "I" (AYE) sound. |

In post-Latin Italian it would be pà'GA'nee. Or as John says, puh-GAHN-i (short "i"), but more like pah-GAHN-i (short "i") |

besides, PAGANI is plural. Singular is PAGANUS, meaning "(inhabitant)of the country".
It comes from pagus meaning countryside. |

Pagan could also come from pagani in Italian – which means pagan… (singular, pagano) |
