Calihan

The name Calihan is generally given to babies of a specific gender and its roots can be traced back to Ireland. The meaning of Calihan is ‘lover of Church’ and before the translation of the Irish name into English, the Gaelic form of Calihan was O Ceallachan. Ceallachan was probably taken from Ceallach another word for strife. The first mention of the surname Ceallachan may have originated in the 10th century from the King of Munster. The family who had the title Calihan were barons of Kinlea but lost their lands during the Anglo-Norman conquest. The Calihan title holders shifted to Mallow but were again uprooted during the Cromwellian stronghold. During the Irish Potato Famine which occurred in Ireland from1845-1849, many Irish families migrated to the United States and Canada. They were mostly used as cheap labor for constructing roads, railways, bridges, and canals, and were instrumental in the rapid development of these industrial nations. Mention of Calihan families on several documents of immigration stands as confirmation of this. Spelling variations of Calihan can also be noticed in these documents like Callhan, Kalahan, O’Kallaghan, Kelagan, and many more. People with Calihan as their names are expressive and creative and carry positive energy with them.
