McCalmon

McCalmon is a surname of Scottish origin. It is a variant spelling of McCALMAN, which itself is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Mac Calmain.

The Gaelic Mac Calmain translates to "son of Calman." The personal name "Calman" is derived from the Gaelic Colmán, which means "dove." Therefore, the surname essentially signifies "son of dove."

The McCALMAN/McCalmon family likely originated in the Scottish Highlands, and variations of the name are found throughout Scotland and in areas where Scottish people have emigrated. Over time, different spellings, such as McCalmon, arose due to variations in pronunciation and transcription.

The surname McCALMON, like other Scottish clan names, may be associated with particular geographic regions or historical events, although specific details regarding a McCalmon clan (distinct from McCALMAN clans) are not readily available and may be absorbed into the broader McCALMAN history. Genealogical research is often required to trace specific family lineages and associations.
