CALDERON Origin of surname
CALDERON, KALDERON
Surnames derive from one of many different origins. Sometimes there may be more than one explanation for the same name. This family name is a toponymic (derived from a geographic name of a town, city, region or country). Surnames that are based on place names do not always testify to direct origin from that place, but may indicate an indirect relation between the name-bearer or his ancestors and the place, such as birth place, temporary residence, trade, or family-relatives.
Calderon/Kalderon, literally "grand" in Spanish, can be associated with one of the towns in the Spanish provinces of Albacote and Seville called Calderon.
Calderon/Kalderon is also associated with Caldare, derived from the Latin Caldarium, meaning "cauldron". Thus Calderon can also be an occupational family name (also connected with raw material, finished product or implements associated with that trade), indicating a tinker. In the 20th century the name is documented as a Jewish surname with the Serbian teacher, author and organization executive Solomon Kalderon.
