Etymology of KalasWhat does the name Kalas mean? The distinguished German surname Kalas is derived from the Celtic word "Gallus," meaning "foreigner, stranger." During the Middle Ages, the name was popular throughout Europe in various forms due to the fame of St. Gall, a 7th century Irish monk. "Kalas" was initially bestowed as a personal name in Germany, and was likely transformed into a surname during the late 11th century. Early Origins of the Kalas familyThe surname Kalas was first found in various regions of Germany. The surname emerged independently in the regions of Bavaria, Pomerania, Silesia, and Oldenburg, creating several branches of the family as early as the 13th century.
