Pertaining to Naples (Napoli) is Neapolitan (well, in English). I think Napolean is just the name of the French dictator.

What's crazy about E. cap'n? Proper nouns get cap'd: We have seasons - each named is cap'd; we have days - each named is cap'd; points of the compass, months, seasons - generally where you have "sets" of nouns.
