From caput (“head”, stem: capit-) + -ina (feminine form of -inus, “of or pertaining to”), meaning “that which belongs to the head”, likely a regional euphemism or indirect naming to avoid the death-related tabooword calva or calvaria (“skull”, literally “the bald one”, because skulls have no hair), which themselves are euphemisms as well.
