I Just Learned What Cappuccino Really Means, And It's Surprisingly Religious

First, came the news that ASDA stands for Asquith and Dairies (yep, really). 

Then, I found out that HARIBO is an acronym and Twix is a clever portmanteau; even Quality Street and Ferrero Rocher have secret second meanings. 

Now I’ve learned that the humble cappuccino has an interesting backstory, too.

On a recent episode of the history podcast You’re Dead To Me, coffee historian and author Professor Jonathan Morris revealed that the name “cappuccino” has surprisingly religious origins.
