Origin Displayed: Spanish

Where did the Spanish Lacalle family come from? What is the Spanish coat of arms/family crest? When did the Lacalle 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 surname of Lacalle is of Spanish descent and is of toponymic origin, as it is derived from a physical feature characteristic of the area where the original bearer lived or owned land. The surname Lacalle is derived from the Latin "callis" and the Spanish word "calle" which means "street." In modern Spanish "calle" is the normal word for a street, but at the time when surnames were being formed it referred to something rather more modest. Thus, the family name Lacalle was giving to someone who lived beside a narrow path or a cattle trail.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Calle, Calleja, Callejo, Callego, Calles, Callejón, Callejas and many more.

First found in the province of Santander, in the ancient kingdom of Castile.
