The surname Calthorp or Calthrop, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic surname "Mac Cathail," which means "son of Cathal." Cathal was a popular given name in Ireland during medieval times.
As time passed, the surname Mac Cathail underwent Anglicization, resulting in variations such as MacCalthorp, Calthorp, and Calthrop. This process of Anglicization was common during the period of English influence in Ireland.
The Calthorp or Calthrop surname has its roots primarily in the northern parts of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Antrim, Derry, and Down. These areas were historically inhabited by Gaelic tribes, and it was within these communities that the surname developed.
Many individuals with the Calthorp or Calthrop surname eventually migrated to other parts of the world, particularly during the Irish diaspora. As a result, you may find people with this surname in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
