The Kallenbach surname is a habitational name, taken on from any of several place names such as from Kallenberg in Westphalia, Saxony, Bavaria, and Württemberg, or from Kalenborn in the Rhineland. These place names are derived from the word "kalle," meaning "muddy water," and "berg," meaning a "mountain" or "hill."
