From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

GILLECALLINE: Callin or Callan is an early saint about whom nothing appears to be known beyond the fact that the old church of Rogart in Sutherland was dedicated to him, and that his fair was formerly held at the same place (Forbes, Kalendars). He may be the Callin of the Felire of Oengus at 13 November. Gillecalline, a priest, is one of the witnesses to the joint grant by Gartnait and the daughter of Gillemicel to the church of Deer before 1130 (Bk. Deer, VI 2). Gilcolyn Slugepah was one of the witnesses to King David's letter respecting the consecration of Robert, bishop of St. Andrews at York in 1128 (Haddan and Stubbs, Councils, II, p. 215 Lawrie p. 64 in the charter following, by Thurstan, archbishop of York, on the same matter, he appears, wrongly, as Gille Colman, Slugedt.) Melcallan, archdeacon of Aberdeen, appears c. 1180.
