How should I call a race of centauroid half-deer?

Yes. I ve been playing Warcraft 3 and seen this dryad unit. It looks cool, but I would like to transform this race into a cool mysterious druidic race of half-deer centauroids. However I lack a cool name to describe them....
 
Cervidaur? (Combining Cervidae and Centaur.)
Cervidaur---sounds to me like a place name... but Cervidan/ Cervidor would work for me cool enough.
The stag-antlered Druidic god was named Cernunnos. Maybe you could work something off of that, like the 'cernunna' or the like.
Or maybe Cenarians?
Cerninians?
Or pure-simple Cernines?


I looked up the word deer and found cool translations in wiktionary:
Venáu (Asturian)
Elnias (Lithu.)
Carw (Welsh)
Fiadh (Gaelic)

Or pure simple Cerves? Cervians?
