Procida is
one of the Flegrean Islands off the coast of Naples in southern Italy. The island
is between Cape Miseno and the island of Ischia. With its tiny satellite island
of Vivara, it is a comune of
the province of Naples, in the region of Campania. The population is about ten
thousand. The island derives its name from the Latin name Prochyta. Probably, this name comes
from Prima Cyme, meaning 'near Cuma'.
According to another theory, Prochyta
comes from the Greek verb prokeitai. Source
