Etymology


The name Catterlen is Brittonic in origin.[3] The first part of the name is the element cadeir, meaning "throne, chair" (see Chatterton and Chadderton in Lancashire, and Catterton in North Yorkshire).[3] The second element in the name is lẹ:n, whose Welsh equivalent llwyn means "thicket (of small trees and bushes)".[3]
