Basically it means any of the ethnic groups from Europe. It refers to the groups from east of the Caucasus mountains.

What Does Caucasian Mean

The term Caucasian originated as one of the racial categories recognised by 19th century craniology — and is derived from the region of the Caucasus mountains.
Caucasoid race is a term used in physical anthropology to refer to people of a certain range of anthropometric measurements . The concept of a "Caucasian race" or Varietas Caucasia was first proposed under those names by the German scientist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840). His studies based the classification of the Caucasian race primarily on skull features, which Blumenbach claimed were optimized by the Caucasian Peoples.

I think it is an anthropological term for people with distinct physical traits. Others would be (types) mongoloid, *******, aboriginal, and others.
