The name of the fell is also given as ‘Catstycam’, a spelling preferred by Alfred Wainwright in his influential Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells. A third variant, ‘Catchedicam’, is also quoted by him. Other guidebooks such as Collins Landranger and Birkett follow Wainwright with ‘Catstycam’, although the maps of the Ordnance Survey always use ‘Catstye Cam’.
