Kellock Family History
Kellock Name Meaning
Scottish (mainly Fife): habitational name from the lands of Killock (Ayrshire) or alternatively from Keiloch in Braemar (Aberdeenshire). English: variant of Kellogg . English: probably from the Middle English female personal name Ketelog Kellok (Old Norse Ketillaug from ketill ‘sacrificial cauldron helmet’ + laug ‘(hot) spring cauldron)’. It could alternatively represent the Old Norse male name Kiallakr a borrowing of Old Irish Cellach (see Kelly ) but this Hiberno-Norse name is not recorded as a personal name anywhere in medieval England.
