==Name== Cappoquin is an Anglicisation of the Irish Ceapach Choinn, referring to a plot of land (or tillage plot) associated with a person named Conn. According to historian Patrick Weston Joyce, "no one can tell who this Conn was". Variant English spellings include Cappaquin or Capaquin and, in some older texts, Caperquin.
