Circa
La palabra latina circa (pudiendo abreviarse como c., ca. o cca.), significa alrededor o cerca. Se usa fundamentalmente su abreviatura en bibliografía inglesa para describir diversas fechas (normalmente de nacimiento o fallecimiento) o datos que son inciertos o aproximados, por lo que utilizar circa indica que la fecha o valor es estimación aproximada.
