Best Answer

C.S. Lewis named the character Prince Caspian after Caspian the Great, a legendary king of Parthia. Lewis likely chose this name to give the character a noble and regal connotation, emphasizing his royal lineage and the heroic potential of his character in "The Chronicles of Narnia" series.
