An old Russian Historian thought it meant Fortress however Krem is a form of either Kreu - flesh, Krapo -roof, Krau -Fish Eggs, or Krau -Crypt; and lin means cloth.
That Means Kremlin means:
(a) Roof Cloth (Urt/Tent/Hut),
(b)Crypt Cloth (Shroud/Burial Place),
(c)Fish egg Cloth (Caviar Salami), or
(d)Flesh Cloth (Vellum).
All four are possibles because they would be historically significant in the History of the Russian People but which do you think it is and why?
Well I think it's a bit off to look at it from the English form of the word, Kremlin. The original Russian word is Кремль (Kreml) so you'd lack the 'lin' part in any word origin there. Also, I think it began as a loan word from the Crimea or somewhere else in central Asia.

The Problem is that English isnt English - its source is Baltic Which puts it in a common language Region.
The only way they could suggest Kremlin means Fortress is if it refers to 'Flag'.
