Cabitta, very rare, would seem to be typical of Sassari and Porto Torres in particular, Cabizza, much more widespread, is typical of Sassari and Sassari, Cabitza is typically Sardinian, from Cabras (OR) and, in Cagliari and Decimoputzu in Cagliari. Ogliastra di Perdasdefogu and Tertenia, could both derive from the Sardinian word cabitta (head, bedside), but it is also possible that they refer to a contraction of the Sardinian term cabiddáda (large quantity) to indicate perhaps a good economic availability of the family. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas CABITZA; Cabizza; CABITTA: sa cabìtza (capitza; capitsa; capo (th) a) is the head: from the Latin capitis = head, head. In Spanish we have cabèza. Today for head or head it is more used, sa conca, which in the ancient papers, especially Logudorese, had mostly the meaning of bowl. Sa cabitza is also the ear of wheat or head of wheat and here it is clearer the derivation from the Latin capìta = forage, profenda (brovènda). Su cabitzali is the bedside, or even pillow; it is also the free space on the sides of a vineyard or of a plowed or wooded field (is cabitzalis). In the ancient papers we find it in the Capìta variant (see Capìta).
