Discover the origin, meaning and pronunciation of the name Cairn.

Cairn is a baby name that is given to baby boys generally. The name is of Scottish origin. The meaning of Cairn is 'mound of rocks'. A cairn is a mound of stones erected in Scotland as a monument or to support a beacon. Due to this, the name has a rough, classic charm that is extremely current right now. The ancient term Cairn was initially used by the Strathclyde-Briton people in the Scottish/English Borderlands. It was the name of a person from Midlothian. Cairns are often built nowadays to serve as markers, particularly to identify mountain tops. Additionally utilized as path markers are cairns. They range in size from little stone signs to whole man-made hills and in complexity from simple megalithic constructions to lose conical rock heaps. Cairns may be painted or otherwise embellished for aesthetic purposes or for religious purposes. The British Isles are home to numerous of these historic cairns, which date back to the Stone Age. The Cain Terrier dog breed is a popular dog breed.
