 As with the Tungri more generally, whose name also appears for the first time under the Romans, either this was a new Germanic tribe entering the region, or it has alternatively been suggested that it could be a Latin translation of the name Eburones, whose name had been annihilated by Caesar.Both names apparently refer to the yew tree (Latin "taxus").The "pagus Catualinus" apparently existed in or near Heel on the Meuse, which corresponds with Catvalium in the "Tabula Peutingeriana" map.
