Well, there is a place called Ceva, Cuneo Province, c.25 km. east of Mondovi. What would a person from there be called - Cevano/a, Cevese?

Sounds plausible... Now it becomes topology, on ocassions topological etymologies are harder than onomastical ones but... At least that's somewhere to start with... Thanks, really...
