Where this word comes from

Probably of Celtic origin, from Proto-Celtic *klokkos (“bell”) (compare Welsh cloch, Old Irish cloc), either onomatopoeic or from Proto-Indo-European *klek- (“to laugh, cackle”) (compare Proto-Germanic *hlahjaną (“to laugh”)). The Oxford English Dictionary observes that this Latin word was most widespread in western and northern Europe; it seems to have followed the spread of Christianity in these areas. The word is first attested in texts from Ireland and may have originated there. Southern European languages instead derive their word for "bell" from Late Latin campāna.
