The surname Malcolm or MacCallum has a rich history of Irish descent.
The name Malcolm is of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic name Maol Chaluim, which means "devotee of Saint Columba." Saint Columba was an influential Irish monk and missionary who established a monastery on the island of Iona in the 6th century. The surname Malcolm was likely adopted by Scottish families who had Irish ancestry or connections.
The variant MacCallum is also of Gaelic origin, derived from the patronymic form Mac Chailein, meaning "son of Cailean." Cailean is the Gaelic form of the name Colin, which is derived from the Old Irish name Cuilen. The MacCallum surname is commonly associated with the MacDougall clan in Scotland.
Throughout history, many Irish families with the surname Malcolm or MacCallum migrated to Scotland, particularly during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. Some of these families may have changed or anglicized their surnames during this time, while others retained the original Gaelic form. Today, individuals with the surnames Malcolm or MacCallum can be found in various parts of Ireland and Scotland, as well as in other parts of the world due to migration and diaspora.
