callander Name Meaning and History

  1. Scottish: habitational name from Callendar near Falkirk or Callander in Perthshire. The original form and meaning of both place names is unclear, but it is certain that they were once distinct; later the former name was transferred to Perthshire under the Livingstones, Earls of Linlithgow.
  2. Swedish: probably a variant of Carlander, from karl ‘man’ + -ander, ornamental suffix from classical Greek aner, andros ‘man’.
  3. Variant spelling of German Kalander (see Kolander).
  4. In some instances, probably a variant spelling of English Callender.
