Meaning & History
From the name of the flower, which means "little bell" in Latin, diminutive of Late Latin campana "bell" (originally "metal vessel made in Campania", region around Naples). The flower is widespread across the whole temperate regions of Europe, but has the most species diversity in the Mediterranean region. This name has been used rarely since the late 19th century when flower names became popular.
