Meseșenii de Jos (Hungarian: Magyarkecel) is a commune located in Sălaj County, Crișana, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Aghireș (Egrespatak), Fetindia (Gurzófalva), Meseșenii de Jos and Meseșenii de Sus (Oláhkecel).
In Romanian, Meseșenii de Jos was traditionally known as Cățălul-unguresc. A 1925 law gave it the name Cățelul; this became Cățălu in 1956. The current name dates to 1960. Meseșenii de Sus, historically Cățălul-român, was Cățelușu from 1925 and Cățălușa from 1956, before acquiring its current name in 1960.[3]
