The name "Cepeda" has Spanish origins, and it is primarily a surname rather than a common word. The etymology of the word "Cepeda" can be traced back to the Latin word "sepes", meaning "hedge" or "fence". Over time, this term evolved into "cepa" in Old Spanish, referring to a "stock" or "stump". By adding the suffix "-eda" which denotes a place or abundance, the name "Cepeda" came into existence, most likely referring to a place with many hedges, or a place known for its abundance of stocks or stumps.
