What is the meaning of the name Cathalle ?

Cathalle is Gaelic in Origin.

Cathalle is a modern, rare elaboration of the Irish Gaelic name Cathal, formed by adding a soft -e/-elle ending that lends a feminine-leaning look while remaining viable as unisex. In Irish, Cathal is pronounced KA-hal (the th is light), and Cathalle is typically rendered ka-HAL or ka-HAL-uh in English. While newly coined in form, it draws on a deeply rooted Gaelic tradition.

Cathal comes from Old Irish elements centered on cath “battle,” yielding the sense “battle ruler” or “strong in battle.” The name appears frequently in medieval Ireland - borne by kings such as Cathal mac Finguine and Cathal Crobderg Ua Conchobair - and resurged in the 20th century with Irish cultural revival. Related variants include Cathal, Cahal, and Cathel; the surname Cahill derives from the genitive Cathail. Though unrelated etymologically, Charles sometimes served as an English stand-in for Cathal.
