Etymology
The word Cappadocian comes from the place name Cappadocia, an old region in central Turkey. One common idea is that the old name Katpatuka meant 'land of beautiful horses', which gives a simple image to remember the name. So Cappadocian means someone or something 'from Cappadocia', like its people, culture, or things from that region.
