The surname Calvey or McElwee has deep roots in Irish history. Calvey is an anglicized version of the Irish Gaelic name Ó Cadhlaigh, which means descendant of Cadhlaigh. McElwee, on the other hand, is derived from the Irish Mac Giolla Bhuí, meaning son of the yellow-haired lad. Both surnames trace their origins back to ancient Gaelic clans that resided in different regions of Ireland.

The Ó Cadhlaigh clan was originally located in County Galway in the west of Ireland. They were a prominent noble family who held land and played a significant role in local politics. Over time, some members of the clan migrated to other parts of the country, and variations of the surname, including Calvey, emerged.

The Mac Giolla Bhuí clan, associated with the surname McElwee, originated in County Donegal in the north of Ireland. They were part of the larger Ó Domhnaill (O'Donnell) dynasty, which held considerable power and influence in the region. The Mac Giolla Bhuí clan served as loyal warriors and advisers to the chiefs of the Ó Domhnaill family.

During the era of British colonization, many Irish surnames were anglicized to conform to English naming conventions. As a result, variations like Calvey and McElwee became more common. Today, individuals with these surnames can be found not only in Ireland but also throughout the Irish diaspora in various parts of the world.
