"Camelot" was the castle King Arthur was supposed to have lived in. Actually, there may be some historical truth to it. "Artos" means bear, and most kings and royal personages of the time were known by a symbol, such as an animal (such as the Boar of Cornwall). A "Merlin" is a type of small hawk, also. So King Arthur (Artos) could have been a real person, possibly a minor king, whose standard had a bear on it.

Also, traditionally in Celtic culture, the traditional weapon of a king was the hammer, or mallot. And the word for castle or fort is "Caer." So the castle of the king might have been known as the "Caer Mallot," which has been corrupted over time to "Camelot." There have been many spellings of the name over time, including some with the "r" still intact. The idea of knights in shining armor and flags flying are a French fabrication, however--the "knights" would have been Celtic warriors whose battle gear, if any, would have been made of leather. Also, the castles and forts of the time would not have been made of shining stone. They would have been earthworks.
