In Anglo-Saxon words or Old English before the Norman Conquest it always has the sound of k. The Latin C was the same letter as the Greek / / and came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the Ph/nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin name ce and was derived probably through the French.
