Reply to:	Shakespearean Names by Nivien

My son's Freshman English teacher has asked him to write about what the name "Capulet" means. He (and I) have been unable to find a meaning. Is it possible Shakespeare just made it up or used a name he had heard at one time? Others in my son's class were unable to find info, so they made up info by breaking down the syllables.
Thanks,in advance, if anyone can help.
