Etymology
From en it Caiazzo, possibly from an unattested intermediate form en la-vul *Caiatium, ultimately from en la Caiatia, under possible influence from Italian it -azzo forming pejoratives and diminutives, of uncertain origin. UTET confused it with la Calatia. It is possibly related to the name la Caieta (grc Καιήτη), though it is not usually related to Greek while the latter is.
The surname is from the place, and is also used as a diminutive of the personal name it Caio.
