ETYMOLOGY

“Caipira ” is a Brazilian common name originated from Tupi language (probably ka’a pora, which means “forest inhabitant”). Caipira is a term used to refer to people who live in the countryside, generally villages and small cities, of Brazil, mainly in the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Minas Gerais and Goiás.
