Best Answer

The Roman settlement on the site of present-day Cambridge was called Duriloponte. More commonly used, however, is the medieval latin name Cantabriggia, probably a latinisation of the anglo-saxon Grantabrycge (the contemporary name of the river Cam being the Granta, as reflected in other local place names such as Grantchester).
