Etymology

Borrowed from Late Latin campana, traditionally taken from Campana (“Campanian”), from its diocese Nola's having been the supposed location of St Paulinus's introduction of bells to Christian ceremony,[1][2] but sometimes derived from Ancient Greek καπάνη (kapánē, “felt helmet”) owing to a supposed resemblance of shape.[3]

Noun

campana (plural campanas)

  1. A church bell, particularly a large bell used in medieval church steeples or towers.[1][3][4]
  2. A bell-shaped vase.
  3. (obsolete, botany) A bell-shaped flower, particularly the pasque flower.
  4. (obsolete, architecture) The body of a capital of the Corinthian order.
