Origin Displayed: German

Where did the German Kallenborn family come from? What is the German coat of arms/family crest? When did the Kallenborn family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The Kallenborn 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."

Spelling variations of this family name include: Kalenberg, Kalenbberg, Kallenberg, Kalenburg, Kalenburgs, Kalenbergs, Kalennberg, Kalennburg, Kallenburges, Karlenberg, Calenberg, Carlingberg, Calingburg, Galenberg and many more.

First found in the Rhineland, where this family was a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times. Always influential in social affairs, the name Kalenberg became an integral part of that turbulent region as it forged alliances with other families within the region and the nation.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Ernest Louis Kallenberg, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1847; Anton Kallenberg, who came to Baltimore in 1848; Anna Martha Kallenbach, who arrived in Quebec in 1850.
