cajun is a deformation of the word "Acadien", an inhabitant of "Acadie". That territory streched on what are now three Canadian regions (Nouvelle-Ecosse + Nouveau-Brunswick + part of Quebec) plus part of the coast of the Maine in the US. In 1755, 10,000 Acadians refusing to pledge allegiance to the English crown were deported. That story is spoken of in the poem "Evangéline" from Longfellow.
