The surname Schalkle was first found in East Prussia, where the name came from humble beginnings in Livonia. They branched to Sweden very early and were granted lands and estates in that country but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society.

Through the acquisition of these estates as well as their important contributions to society, the family successfully elevated their social status.
