The origin of the word "caucasian" is related to the Caucus mountains and the tribes that lived there. The tribes of light-skinned people of the Caucus mountains migrated to central Europe.

Caucasian now means relating to people who are light-skinned or of European origin.

Caucasians belonged to the light-skinned peoples of Europe, and western and southern Asia. They were cosiderted a distinct ethnic group until they migrated and inter-married with the tribal peoples of Germany Turkey, and Spain. The English and Irish are genetically related to the caucasion people of Iberia or what might be considered modern day Spain.

Because of successive waves of invasion by Vikings, Angles and Saxons and later even the Romans, the Caucasians became the hybrids or "mutts" of the British Isles and Ireland depending on your point of view.
