Cinnamon Rolls/Buns are presumed to have originated from Sweden, known as Kanelbulle which literally means Cinnamon Bun, however the dough also contains  powdered/buds cardamom to give the distingtive flavor.

Cinnamon Rolls consists of roll sheets of yeast- leavened on to which the cinnamon and sugar ( brown) is rolled on thin layer of butter, sometimes with nuts or raisins. The dough is then cut into individual portions which can be baked or fried. In North America a heavy glaze of powdered sugar or cream cheese is used on the top. In Northern Europe 'nib sugar' is used with glaze instead of icing.

The size of Cinnamon Rolls/Buns vary from place to place and also the varieties of similar method such as Honey Bun, Cinnabon, Chelsea Bun , Sweet Roll or a Norwegian Skillingsbolle, Cinnamon Snail, Cinnamon Swirl etc

Cinnamon Rolls are commonly served for breakfast as well as brunch , in my house we do brunch and evening snack time
