I've not heard of it as a place/building or otherwise.

The translation doesn't help much!...
Cae (Field/Fence/Hedge) and Maes (Field) Idan (?)

Could it be a reference to being born at home? maybe.

The Workhouse was at Cae Maes Idan, Glanadda.  Do you know where the parents were at the time of the 1911 Census?  That should give an indication of whether they were inmates of the workhouse or if they lived in a house nearby, in Caernarfon Road.

That was going to be my guess given the amount of people asking. Maybe worth trying the workhouse website and their new encyclopedia and checking any archives etc
