The surname Calvert has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The name itself is of Norman origin, derived from the Old French word "cauvert," meaning "bald" or "shaven." It is believed that the surname was introduced to Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century.

The earliest recorded instance of the Calvert surname in Ireland dates back to the 13th century. The family initially settled in County Kilkenny and County Wexford, where they held significant land holdings and established themselves as prominent members of the local aristocracy.

Over time, the Calvert family continued to rise in prominence, particularly through their involvement in politics and the legal profession. One of the most notable figures in the family's history is George Calvert, who was the first Baron Baltimore. He played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Maryland colony in the early 17th century.

Despite their Norman origins, the Calverts assimilated into Irish society over the centuries. They intermarried with local Irish families, embraced Gaelic culture, and became part of the Irish aristocracy.

Today, the Calvert surname is still relatively common in Ireland, particularly in the areas where the family initially settled. It is a proud reminder of the Norman influence on Irish history and the enduring legacy of the Calvert family.
