Historically, circuit courts were originally courts that would hold sessions in multiple locations within its judicial district. Circuit judges would travel long distances ("ride the circuit') to hear cases in far-flung areas. Most of these local judicial circuits have disappeared now that local areas have a large enough caseload to establish a judiciary system. Traditon lives on.

Which court is HIGHER district or circuit?
In the Federal court system, the district courts are the "lowest" courts. Cases usually start in district court and are decided there. The circuit courts are courts of appeal. That means that you can appeal a district court's ruling to the circuit court (and then to the Supreme Court, if you still don't like the ruling). In that sense, the circuit courts are "higher" than the district courts.
