The Italian word "capello" literally means "hair", although as an occupational surname most frequently found in the south of Italy, "Capello" refers to a maker and seller of hats or cloaks. The Italian word "cappello" (note the double "p") means "hat". There are regions of Italy which still maintain their own dialect, as Italy for many centuries was a country of separate kingdoms.
As an Italian, you should be familiar with cappelletti soup. The cappelletti pasta found in the soup is in the shape of "little hats" (which is what "cappelletti" means).
