Cathal

The name Cathal is prevalent in Ireland. Cathal was one of the most famous names in Ireland's two provinces during the medieval period, Connacht and Munster. Its variant, 'Cahal,' is equally popular in Ireland, Scotland, and England. The name consists of two Celtic components; the first is 'Cath,' which means 'battle,' and the second is 'Val,' meaning 'rule.' Hence, the name Cathal means 'battle ruler". The name symbolises courage. It is a very strong and influential name. It is short and sweet, soothing to the soul and melodious to the ears. It is beautiful and has a character of its own. The name presents absolute charms and belief in oneself which in itself is powerful and courageous. Cathel, Kathel, Cahal, and Cahill are some of its anglicized forms. Sometimes, Charles is said to be an anglicized form of Cathal. However, the name has an entirely different origin and meaning. Several kings are known who bore this name. Some of them are Cathal mac Muiredaig, Cathal Cú-cen-máthair, Cathal mac Conchobair, and Cathal mac Tadg. Certain places and streets of Ireland are named after Cathal, Cathal Brugha Street, and Cathal Brugha Barracks.
