The name comes from King Edwin of Northumbria who established a fort called Edwin's Fort, (or Din Eidyn in gaelic) where Edinburgh Castle now stands. It was later renamed Edwinesburch (Edynbroch); burch or broch is another name for a a fort. Ultimatley the name became Edinburgh which it is called today.
I think Edinburgh used to be called Dun edin. From the castle (Dun) and the gardens/nor loch (eden) then when it was the queens residents it changed to Edinburgh.
That is just my opinion at this point though
Edinburgh Castle was built on a mass of volcanic rock to dominate the countryside around it. The town was built around the castle to provide for the people living there.
