What I want to know is how do you say it? Is there history behind the
name?

You'll start thinking in terms of all the same concepts, you'll approach your application development the same way. The frameworks are more similar than different, imho. We took a very strategic decision with Cairngorm, only to support the Flex framework; the framework started life in the Flash world, but we believed that Flex would become the defacto technology for building RIAs of any complexity that merits a microarchitecture, and so have made conscious decision not to support back to Flash or any other Flash platform technologies. In that way, we can focus on leveraging the Flex framework without concering ourselves deeply with how this translates to the non-Flex world. We do have developers using Cairngorm on Flash projects - but that's not the expected use-case. There's a 6-page article series on Cairngorm on Macromedia Devnet, starting here: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/cairngorm_pt1.html We'll continue to make these articles available to you through devnet, and through blogs, to enable you to be successful in building more complex RIAs upon this architecture, and to guide you in how we think the architecture fits with new features of the Flex framework, be that States, Internationalisation, Flex Data Services, etc. If you follow that article series, you'll be ready in a few hours to start building RIAs today, with Flex 2 and ActionScript 3.0, on Cairngorm. As we start to move through the final betas, and into release of Flex 2.0, a number of us within Adobe Consulting are absolutely committed and ready to ship the community updated versions of Cairngorm as required - we're using it on a significant number of our own Flex 2.0 projects here, and are a step ahead of the public beta programs that you have access to. There's a huge number of people on the flexcoders list successfully using Cairngorm; so once you have more specific questions, I'm sure we'll be able to help you in your application development.
