The sentence would be "Once there lived AN old carpenter called Gepetto."
Once means "in the past." Sometimes children's stories start "Once upon a time" meaning some time in the past.
It is "lived an" not "lived in." Does this answer your question?
Also, instead of saying "What's lived in meaning" you would say "What does "lived in" mean?"

Once - in the past; at some time in the past; on one occasion.
"in" - should be "an" - I think your text has an error.
"Once upon a time..." is a common introduction to children's stories and fairy tales..

"Once" = "One time, long ago (in the past)"
Your sentence is likely from the Pinocchio fairy tale, Geppetto is Pinocchio's father.
