Cathell is Welsh in Origin.
Cathell is a rare Celtic given name and surname, most plausibly an Anglicized bridge between Irish Cathal and Welsh Cadell. Its roots lie in Celtic battle words: Old Irish cath 'battle' plus a ruler element yielding the sense 'battle ruler,' and Welsh cad 'battle,' seen in Cadell, a princely name. Medieval Latin and English records show spellings such as Cathel and Catell; the form Cathell later also appears as a family name in Britain and Ireland and traveled to North America.
As a given name, Cathell peaked in the Middle Ages, attached to Irish kings named Cathal and Welsh dynasts named Cadell, and saw modest revival during the 19th-20th-century Celtic renaissance. Variants and cognates include Cathal, Cathel, Catell, Cattell, and Cadell; related derivatives are Cahill (a surname) and Callan (from Cathalán). The name carries connotations of strength, leadership, and old-world erudition.
