Decision or story; to tell or narrate
In Sanskrit, the name is derived from the root word meaning to tell, narrate, or relate a story. It is also found in Irish contexts as a variant of Cathan, meaning battle or little warrior. In modern usage, it is often chosen for its crisp, contemporary sound and its rarity.
