The kepi (English pronunciation: /ËkÉpiË/ or /ËkeÉªpiË/) is a cap with a flat circular top and a peak, or visor. Etymologically, the term is a loanword of the French kÃ©pi, itself a re-spelled version of the Alemannic KÃ¤ppi: a diminutive form of Kappe, meaning cap. In Europe, this headgear is most commonly associated with French military and police uniforms. In North America, it is usually associated with the American Civil War, as it was worn by soldiers on both sides of the conflict. 1942 portrait of General Charles de Gaulle in the Free French Forces wearing a kepi.
