LA | LAPENTA | PENTA

The Penta, absolutely rare is from Campania, while Lapenta is typically Lucan, should derive from the Greek name Penta, a variation of the Greek name Pentheus, sometimes attributed to the fifth daughter, or even by Italianizations of the Slavic name Pentcha, with the same meaning.
