As far as I am aware, the European name for the people who called themselves "Inuit", was "Esquimaux", which as you can see was originally from Canadians of French origin, and Anglicised to "Eskimo", because that's how the word "Esquimaux" actually sounds to the listener's ear.
So in France, presumably the chilled icecream treat would be spelled as "Esquimaux Pi"....
