The prevailing view in modern scholarship is that the Catali were a Celtic people.[1] The root of their name cat- has been compared with that of the nearby Catubrium and Catubrini, both derived from the Gaulish stem catu- ('combat, battle').Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Some earlier 20th-century scholarship identified the Catali as Illyrians.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

In the 1st century AD, Pliny listed the Catali, together with the Fecusses, Subocrini, and Menoncaleni, among the peoples described as "illustrious Alpine inhabitants from Pola to the region of Tergeste" (incolae Alpium … inlustres a Pola ad Tergestis regionem).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
