From the picture, we can see that point "H" is the intersection of lines that come from the midpoint of each side and that are perpendicular to each side. They are called perpendicular bisectors, since they are perpendicular and they bisects each side.

By definition, the point that is the intersection of the perpendicular bisector lines is called the Circumcenter.
