Why is the new macOS called ‘Catalina’?
Mostly, Apple takes inspiration from nature and landscape while naming its operating systems. For instance, Mojave was named after the desert while High Sierra was named after the mountain ranges. It has been noticed that all these landmarks are located in California. To keep the tradition alive, Apple has named its new operating system Catalina. It has been inspired by the Santa Catalina Island, which is a rocky island located in California.
