語源

From late 中期英語 Cambrigge, Caumbrigge, from earlier Cantebrigge, Cauntebrigge, from 古期英語 Grante bryċġ, Granta-briċġ, Grantanbryċġ (“Granta bridge”). The river name Granta is probably of Celtic origin. The modern pronunciation with /eɪ/ develops from 中期英語 /aː/, which develops from earlier /au̯/ before /m/ (as in 中期英語 chambre for earlier chaumbre).

By 中期英語 when the name of the settlement had changed to "Cantebrigge" and eventually "Cambridge", the lower stretches of the River Granta were renamed Cam by back-formation from Cambridge.
