Gerace is a town near Caulonia. Gerace was also the name of the region that Caulonia is in and it changed its name to Reggio Calabria about the time the town's named changed from Castelvetere. So the region used to be Gerace and there's a town named Gerace. Doesn't it seem likely that there's a connection? I traveled to Caulonia and Gerace this spring.
