Campaniacum was an etymon of numerous toponyms in France. Ernest Nègre, author of Toponymie générale de la France indicated an origin from the Roman word Campanius and the Gaulish -acum. (The i is important in the phonetic evolution of *Campaniacum).
These different results with diverse phonetic evolutions of dialects of the langue d'oïl and the langue d'oc and by region:

- Campaniacum comports an initial group Ca-: with k and a and with ch with the large part of the ancient Gaul and its langue d'oïl dialects along with the langue d'oc dialects. In the north of the ancient Gaul existed an unlimited band by the Joret line. In the south of the ancient Gaul (langue d'oc).
The form Champigny which is purely French (Champigny-sur-Marne) is situated by the Val-de-Marne). Gaston Zink on the Phonétique historique du français (French Phonetic History) , 1986 had an explanation (page 194) for the sequence ign and the palatized ñ (gn in French) and a.
