"Cereticiaun" is almost certainly "Ceredigion", a name now associated with modern Ceredigion county, with which the area may have been more or less coterminous. Traditionally the name is supposed to originate with the king of the area Ceredig (though not necessarily the Ceredig who died in 615 CE, see below). The development of the placename can be seen from its appearances in the Annales Cambriae (See Other Works) in the following references from Version A (attached to Manuscript A: c.1100 CE but could be down to 977) and B (1286+):
