Subject: Surname "Catelli"

Hello there again,

I've come here to ask about the Italian surname "Catelli". From what I've searched, people associate it with "Cattel", "Gateli" and "Gatelli". Some people with "Castelli", but these are common folk (so I think you should take "Castelli" less in consideration).

I want know what "Catelli" means, and, possibly, from which group of people (romans, etruscans, etc) come from. The "Catelli" (considering that there are others) which I'm talking about comes from Lucca (or at least, that family is from there, which could mean it originated somewhere in Tuscany).

(Maybe the maps could help you all out)

Thanks in advance!
