Catenates
The Catenaten , also Katenaten , ( Latin Catenates ) were a Celtic tribe , which can possibly be counted among the Vindelikern . The Roman victory monument Tropaeum Alpium for the Augustan Alpine campaigns at today's La Turbie in the Maritime Alps names the Catenates in (uncertain) connection with the "Vindelicorum gentes quattuor" mentioned there . The location of their tribal area has not yet been localized, but if the assignment to the Vindelikers is correct , they may have settled in the Alpine foothills , in the later Roman province of Raetia . Your name could be related to the Celtic word * catu- ("fight", "armed band").
Only when Strabon (Geographika 4, 6, 8) of the stem which is Clautonatii ( Greek Κλαυτονάτιοι) mentioned as vindelicischer strain which otherwise is not known. Maybe it's a name variation or misspelling for catenates . Birkhan suspects a connection with the Old High German word hlōd ("fame").
