Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Campānus, as the region was a centre for bronze production. Already in the first century CE Pliny speaks of the quality of aes campānum (“Campanian bronze”) and refers to vāsa campāna (“Campanian vessels [or utensils]”). First attested as a bare feminine noun in 510 CE.[1] Notably, bronze is a traditional material for making both bells and steelyards.

It has also been suggested that Campania was simply the location where St Paulinus introduced bells to Christian ceremony.[2][3]

The word has alternatively been linked, probably spuriously, to the Ancient Greek καπάνη (kapánē, “felt helmet”), owing to a supposed resemblance of shape,[4] and also to Thessalian variants of the Ancient Greek ἀπήνη (apḗnē) bearing the sense of 'cross-piece, middle-beam'.

Noun[edit]

campāna f (genitive campānae); first declension (Late Latin, Medieval Latin)

  1. a large bell used in late classical or medieval church towers or steeples.
  2. a tower for such a bell, a campanile, belfry
  3. a steelyard (device for weighing)

Declension[edit]

First-declension noun.

Case Singular Plural
Nominative campāna campānae
Genitive campānae campānārum
Dative campānae campānīs
Accusative campānam campānās
Ablative campānā campānīs
