[edit] Name

An odd name like 'kepi' demands an explanation. --Smack (talk) 02:47, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The article is not referring to the origins of the word "kepi". It derives from the Swiss German word "chaeppi" and it probably found its way to the French Military through the Swiss mercenaries who used to fight for foreign countries such as France during centuries.
