Kalanj Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The surname Kalanj has its origins in ancient Latin. The core of the word is, cal, which is a Balkan Vulgar Romance word for 'horse' (originally: caballus), which is continued by a slavicized -anj suffix. As the Kalanj family originates in the region of coastal Croatia historically known as Morlacchia, populated by frequently migrating and raiding cattle-herders known as Vlachs, it likely explains how the first member of the family got its name. It should be dully noted that caballus primarily means 'pack-horse' and should be differentiated from equus.
