The word 'champagne' comes from a late Latin word whose use dates back to the third to sixth centuries. That word, 'campania', refers to level, open country. It in turn traces back to the ancient, classical Latin name for the present-day province of the same name in modern Italy. The capital city of Campania is Naples. And the term 'campania' as 'level, open country' is descriptive of both the regions of Campania in southern Italy and of the champagne producing region of France.
