Latin

Etymology

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 ”). First attested as a bare feminine noun in 510 CE. 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.

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

Noun

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

First-declension noun.

Case Singular Plural
Nominative campāna campānae
