Ah, do I love those French-speaking! Not everything derives from your great language ;-) No, "ca." comes from the Latin word "circa", meaning around, both in a spacial sense, as well as about (as in "about 15 minutes")... BTW, adding "ca." or ranges to tempo marks is something I would like to have eventually, but right now that's a little out of reach (save using explicit markups)...
