Meaning & History
Borrowed from Latin Caledonia, meaning "land of the Calēdonēs", from Latin Calēdonēs, probably of Celtic origin, possibly from Proto-Celtic *kaletos "hard" and *ɸēdo- "foot", with an added country-forming suffix -ia. This was the historical name for Scotland as well as multiple locales in Canada and the United States.
