I was reading a list of the oldest people in Italy on the Italian Wikipedia. Most of them had names that were familiar to me, but one of the women had a name that I had never heard of before:

This woman, who turned 109 in December, is named Erpalice. I have no idea what her name means, and I cannot find any information on it. All I am sure of is that it is probably a very rare name.
Does anyone have an idea where Erpalice comes from?
