Accepted answer

Official administration division names probably didn't exist before 1795.

Based on the Paris de 1285 a 1314, les pelletiers sont dans la Cité Map, there were 3 sub-divisions

  • Quartier d'outre Grand Pont (A, North, Right bank)
    • La Ville
  • La Cité (B, Île de la Cité)
  • Quartier d'outre Petit Pont (C, South, Left bank)
    • Université

So outside the La Cité, you had the Neighborhood at the big and small bridge.
Later maps show only the names (La Ville, Cité, Université).

The areas outside of the city wall were called Faubourg (suburb) togeather with main street name.

On 11 October 1795, Paris was divided into twelve arrondiss*m*nts.
