Where this word comes from
First attested as Latin Pagus Catvual between the 1st and 4th century. Compound derived from Proto-Germanic *haþu- (“battle”) and *walla (“wall”), either as a calque from Celtic term or as an originally Germanic term that was calqued into Celtic. Alternative hypotheses propose a Latin origin of the toponym or a derivation from the demonym of an otherwise unknown tribe. Compare Heerle and Heerlen. See also Limburgish Hael.
