The name Caldwell in Ireland is usually of Anglo origin having been brought to the country by settlers in the seventeenth century. It was also sometimes adopted by the native Gaelic O'hUarghuis Sept of County Tyrone and by the MacConluain Sept of County Cavan.
"Caldwell is an ancient Scottish name that was first used by the Strathclyde-Briton people of the Scottish/English Borderlands. It is a name for someone who lived in Renfrewshire."
