What does the name Caulo mean?

Caulo is a name whose history dates far back into the mists of early British times to the days of the Anglo-Saxon tribes. It is a name for a shy or introverted person. An alternate derivation of the surname comes from the Old English, where Callow means the bald or bare hill. In such a case it could have been a nickname for a bald person, or a name given to someone who lived near a prominent treeless hill.

Migration of the Caulo family

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Caulo or a variant listed above: Christian Callow who settled in New England in 1698; John Callow arrived in Philadelphia in 1813.
