Perhaps a Latinized form of Greek Καβειρία (Kabeiria), an epithet of the goddess Demeter, possibly derived from the name of Mount Kabeiros in Asia Minor; see also Kabeiro. This was used by Italian author Gabriele D'Annunzio for the title heroine in the film Cabiria (1914), to which he wrote the screenplay. The name was later used by Federico Fellini for a character in his film Nights of Cabiria (1957).
