Calvert Family History

Calvert Genealogy & Family Tree

Calvert is an English name from Yorkshire, England. It comes from the Middle English calfhirde which means "calf" and "herdsman" and referred to someone with the occupation of tending cattle. In recent years, it is often used as a given name. The earliest known ancestor--Warin le Calfhirde--was recorded in 1269. The family motto is Fatti masghii parole femine which means "Deeds are masculine, words feminine."

Other spellings of the name include "Calvart," "Calverte," "Callvert," and "Callbert." Notable people with the surname include English actor Laurie Calvert (The Quiet Ones, Cinderella, Episodes), American Olympic athlete Sherry Calvert (javelin throwing), and Australian musician Phill Calvert (Boys Next Door, The Birthday Party, The Psychedelic Furs). The first Calvert to come to America was Cecilius Calvert in Maryland in 1632.
