where does the term caucasian comes from ? are all european people caucasian?

Answer 1

Caucasian refers to a group of people from the Caucas mountain range. This land is made up from several countries including Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Technically, not all Europeans are Caucasian, unless they come from this area. The term Aryan also is the term of people from the Caucas mountains that went to India in Early-History.
Today the most common use of Caucasian is "white" rather than its correct usage.

Answer 2

The term itself originated as one of the racial categories recognised by 19th century craniology, and is derived from the region of the Caucasus mountains, itself imagined to be the location from which Noah's son Japheth, traditional Biblical ancestor of the Europeans, established his tribe prior to its migration into Europe.

Different regions of the world use the term in different ways. In the United States, Caucasian is currently used primarily as a distinction loosely based on skin color alone for a group commonly referred to as White Americans, as defined by the American government and Census Bureau. In Europe, "Caucasian" refers exclusively to people who are from the Caucasus.
