For other uses, see Circa (disambiguation). Circa (often abbreviated c., ca., ca or cca. and sometimes italicized to show it is Latin) means "in approximately" (it literally means "around"), referring to a date. It is widely used in genealogy and historical writing, when the dates of events are approximately known. When used in date ranges, a circa is applied before each approximate date, while dates without a circa immediately preceding them are generally assumed to be known with certainty. For example, an encyclopedia entry for Genghis Khan may begin with "Genghis Khan (c. 1162 – August 18, 1227)", suggesting that he was born in or around the year 1162. The year of his death appears as a precise value, suggesting that there is definite evidence that this is when he died.[1] Other example, an encyclopedia entry for "Craig Arnold" (November 16, 1967 – c. April 27, 2009)", suggesting that he died in or around of April 27. [edit] See also
