Caimari

Not even the most prestigious specialists in toponymy can not yet fully confirm any of the various hypotheses about what was the original meaning of Caimari, with a spelling that has also been modified over time (Caymarix li Aben-leube, Caymarix Labelembe or Caymaritx Labenleube, Queymaritx, Caymari).
But, without a doubt, the hypothesis to which preference is given is the one that attributes to Caimàritx the meaning of “set of caves”. To arrive, it is based on the phonetic fact that the sm group can become im, and exposes that Caimari could come from casmari, derived from chasma, abyss, in Greek.
To round out this climbing route to the etymology of Caimari, noting that near the town, there are a lot of natural caves. Historical events that took place within its territory have given name to popular celebrations or certain places like the Puig de n’Escuder or the Coll de sa Batalla.
The ethnological park, the old church or some stately homes we find are witnesses to the history of these lands. Finally, Caimari is the last population center before entering the popular pilgrimage of the Lluc monastery.
