Unless it's a typo / a language corruption, and it's supposed to be Cantemeric - as in, descendents of a race of Mer called the Cantemer? Based on Latin and Spanish, that could mean "Song Elves".

Velothi might just be a collective term for the several groups who "followed the example of" Saint Veloth and broke away from the Aldmer. The Ayleids, Snow Elves, and the Dwemer split off at the same sort of time, so perhaps they were "Dwemeric Velothi" when they left, to distinguish their godless philosophy from the Daedra-worshipping "Chimeric Velothi", and so on.
