EtymologyEdit
In Japan, the original provided romanization for the location was Caerwyn. The name is Welsh, from caer which means "castle" or "fortified city" (roughly equivalent to the old-fashioned meaning of "borough"), and gwyn which means "white" or "blessed". (The g in gwyn is dropped because of lenition in Welsh grammar.) The Japanese form カーウェン Kāwen reflects the anglicized pronunciation /ˈkɑː(r)wᵻn/ "CAR win", which in turn reflects northern Welsh /kɑːɨrwᵻn/. (The southern Welsh pronunciation is /kairwɪn/, and its anglicized form is /ˈkaɪə(r)wᵻn/ "KIRE win".)
