That is not a simple question because the language may not be Latin.
Pompeii was originally an Oscan town founded in the 7th century BC, before Rome expanded its influence across Italy - the Osci (Oscans) had their own language which included the word pompe, meaning five (Latin quinque, Umbrian pumpe). The town may have evolved from five neighbouring settlements, or the name may originate with a personal name such as Pompeia or Pompeius, or some Oscan name). We can only guess.
