"Calepio" meaning in Italian

Proper name

Etymology: Attested as early as 768 as castro Caleppio. Likely from a rare Roman personal name, Latin Calepius, Callepius. The origin of that name is uncertain; possibly from a word derived from Proto-Indo-European *kal- (“hard”). This could have been through a Celtic language such as Gaulish: in Gaulish there is epos callion (“colt's hoof”), from Proto-Celtic *kalio-, explored by Pokorny and connected to Old Church Slavonic калити (kaliti, “to harden, cool”), Sanskrit कलिका (kalikā, “bud”), etc. Etymology templates: {{der|it|la|Calepius}} Latin Calepius, {{der|it|ine-pro|*kal-|t=hard}} Proto-Indo-European *kal- (“hard”), {{der|it|cel|-}} Celtic, {{der|it|cel-gau|-}} Gaulish, {{der|it|cel-pro|*kaletos|*kalio-}} Proto-Celtic *kalio-, {{cog|cu|калити||to harden, cool}} Old Church Slavonic калити (kaliti, “to harden, cool”), {{cog|sa|कलिका||bud}} Sanskrit कलिका (kalikā, “bud”) Head templates: {{it-proper noun|m}} Calepio m
