History
The Name
In the book published in 1980 by the Communal Administration "Cesate: inhabitants, history and art, territory - from the Gaulish invasion up to now", by A.Deiana, S.Ettorre, Y.Panin, you read: "the name of the city first appears in a script on an ancient funeral stone still kept in Cesate" at the historical Public Library's site, n.5 Piave Street. The script, "Hoc. Est. Sepvl. Illorum. De. Cixate.", meaning "this is the tomb of Cesatensis nobles", dated back to VIII-IX century.
From Middle-ages to XX century
So the ancient name of the city was Cixate, appearing three times in the old XIII-century manuscript by Goffredo da Bussero (1220-1289), as a site of churches. This name appears also later, end of XIV century, in another manuscript, "Notizia de clero mediolanensis de anno 1398, though written in different ways: Cixate, Cizate, Cyxate, Cyzate. Someone says that the name "Cesate" is made up of a root, Caesa, and the suffix -ate, locative ablative referring to properties of families and people. So "Cesate" would be equal to "property of Caesar". Anyway, sometimes -ate is meant as a weak form of an ancient Gaulish suffix, and in this case we should think Cesate was a Gaulish installation, then "Romanized".
