''Cardrona'' is etymologically a Cumbric place-name. The first element is cognate with Welsh ''caer'' 'fortification'. The second element is less clear but recent work suggests a word cognate with Welsh ''trwyn'', literally 'nose' but attested in Welsh and Cornish place-names in the sense 'promontory'. If so the name means something like 'fort of the promontories'.〔Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html).〕
