Boldly striding forward through what would prove to be the withering sands of time many lesser persons, the proud and noble Scottish surname of Caldwell was originated by the Strathclyde-Briton people to denote persons living in the Renfrewshire area of the West Central Lowlands. Some researchers are quite confident that the surname may also have an origination in the Old English language words meaning "cold" and "well", to indicate a person living near a well that gave cold water.
