In Italy now the name caio is not used anymore like it used to be. Now you can find the name caio in (tizio caio e sempronio) these are the names of three hypothetical persons, used in Italian to indicate any person taken as an example.

It was Irnerio who first used them for legal simplification (Titius Gaius et Sempronius) in his works.
