==Name origins==
The name ''la Seu d'Urgell'', in Latin ''Sedes Urgelli'', is formed by two different words: ''Seu'' from the [[Latin]] "Sedes", or seat, and ''Urgell'' a pre-Roman name. Catalan linguist [[Joan Coromines]] interpreted that the name is related to the presence of water.<ref>[http://www.grec.cat/cgibin/ggcc01cl.pgm?USUARI=&SESSIO=&PGMORI=&NDCHEC=0600501 GGCC, Urgell:] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120629024859/http://www.grec.cat/cgibin/ggcc01cl.pgm?USUARI=&SESSIO=&PGMORI=&NDCHEC=0600501 |date=2012-06-29 }} The origin of the name. {{in lang|ca}}</ref>

The Iberian settlement of Arse-durgui (or Arse d'Urgui) was on the hill of [[Castellciutat]]. At that time the hill was called ''Puiolo Urgelli''. Where there was the village of Arse-durgui they built the city of Urgell (in Latin ''civitas Orgellia'' and in Catalan ''ciutat d'Urgell'') and here lies the origin of the name [[Castellciutat]]. Until the eighteenth century the town was known simply as "Ciutat" (City in English) and ''Castell'' (Castle) was added because the existence of an ancient castle that was home of the [[Counts of Urgell]].

Shortly after the destruction of the former Orgellia new neighborhood arose, which became the new home of the [[Bishop of Urgell|Diocese of Urgell]]. Its name ''vicus Sedes Urgelli'' indicates that the town is the [[episcopal see]] of the [[Diocese of Urgell|Bishop of Urgell]].

Over time, ''Sedes Urgelli'' took importance and lost the word ''vicus'' (denotes that it was a district) while ''civitas Orgellia'' lost the word ''Orgellia'' and becomes simply ''Civitas'' until the 18th century.<ref name="origens">[http://www.grec.cat/cgibin/ggcc01cl.pgm?USUARI=&SESSIO=&PGMORI=&NDCHEC=0604607 GGCC, la Seu d'Urgell:] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120731123159/http://www.grec.cat/cgibin/ggcc01cl.pgm?USUARI=&SESSIO=&PGMORI=&NDCHEC=0604607 |date=2012-07-31 }} Origins. {{in lang|ca}}</ref>
