Circuit courts are so named due to the tradition from whence they started. In the common law, in England, judges at the appellate level would literally 'ride circuit' going from town to town along a preset circuit, or route, and hearing any cases on appeal from the local trial judge that occurred since they were last there. Thus circuit courts in the US, which gets its legal history and tradition from the English common law, follow a similar pattern of grouping local jurisdictions into geographically proximate appellate districts, which are known as circuits. And Guam/Mariana is close to the West Coast.
