A city name or surname, most famously associated with the English royal House of Lancaster.
From Old English 'Lonceaster,' meaning 'Roman fort on the River Lune.' The name combines the river name 'Lune' with 'caster' (from Latin 'castrum,' meaning fort or camp). The royal house emerged in the 14th century.
The Wars of the Roses between Lancaster (red rose) and York (white rose) inspired Shakespeare's history plays and Game of Thrones! The Lancastrian dynasty included three English kings, most notably Henry V of Agincourt fame.
