A rocky hill or fortress, particularly in place names in Britain and Scotland.
From Old English or Celtic roots, possibly related to 'caber' (a pole) or Celtic words for hill. Common in Scottish and Northern English place names like Cairnburn.
Many Scottish place names ending in 'burn' (stream) combine with 'cab' to create natural landmarks—'caburn' literally means a hill with a stream, showing how ancient peoples named geography based on water sources.
