Parmesan (or the Italian "Parmigiana") literally means "in the style of Parma", an area of Italy. It does not necessarily reflect the type of cheese used.

The word "parmesean" means something in its own right, before ever having been connected to the cheese.

The pamasean cheese (grated) is mixed in with the breading that goes on the chicken or eggplant. You fry it until brown, and then bake with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.

In northern Italy we don't use mozzarella or tomato sauce in our dishes. I never use mozzarella to make parmesan dishes.

I use both on chicken parm. Once in a while I might even use a little pecorino-romano

I don't! I always buy smoked Parmasean for chicken parm.

mozzarella is milder in flavor - its really a matter of preference.
