well, "caer" is of gaelic/celtic origin, and could be found in scottish, irish,
welsh, or even old briton place-names... as far as i understand it. (which is a
similiar root to 'cairn', which is a burial mound.. both come from a root
meaning 'pile of dirt'.. one defensive, the other funeral).
i use it along this line: each little hamlet in my world (called a caer), had
it's villagers associated with it. people from other places would then refer
to them by their caer, and so soon the people themselves came to be called
caers. and just to make is a cool country-name, i call it Caerany. (like
german=germany, norman=normandy, etc).
not that anyone cares.. thought it might be a fun thing to mention. ;o)
