The third wife of Julius Caesar was named Calpurnia Pisonis, and I thought that was an interesting name. Her father was called Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, so obviously she was named after him.

Does anyone have an idea of what Calpurnius or Calpurnia might mean? Both names remind me of Copernicus (as in: Nicolaus Copernicus), so maybe there is some relation (etymologically speaking, ofcourse).

Thank you for your reply. :)
