According to one theory, the name comes from the Latin carrus navalis (“ship cart”), [1] which refers to carts in a religious parade, such as carts used in religious processions at annual celebrations to honor the god Apollo. But according to other sources, the carnival name comes from the Italian carne levare which means “get rid of meat”, because meat is prohibited during Lent.
