Kathall is in Origin.

Kathall is a modern Anglicized respelling of the Irish Gaelic name Cathal, built from cath ‘battle’ and val ‘rule, power,’ giving the sense “battle ruler” or “one who rules in war.” The K-initial and doubled -ll are contemporary stylistic choices often seen when Gaelic names move into English, while the core Irish sound is preserved (commonly approximated KA-hal).

As a form of Cathal, it inherits a long Irish pedigree: medieval rulers and churchmen bore the name, including Cathal Crobderg Ua Conchobair, king of Connacht, and the missionary saint Cathaldus (Latinized). Usage of Cathal revived with Irish cultural renewal and the diaspora; Kathall itself remains rare and modern. Close variants include Cathal, Cahal, Cathel, and the Latin Cathaldus; related surnames such as Cahill come from the same root. Gender use today is chiefly masculine, though some parents adopt Kathall as a distinctive unisex choice.
