Baltimore Family History
Baltimore Name Meaning
American: apparently from the city in MD or from the title of the
English Barons Baltimore, borne by members of the Calvert family, who
were Lords Proprietors of the colony of MD in the 17th century and for
whom the state capital was named. As a family name, Baltimore seems to
have originated in America (appearing in VA in the 1660s). There is no
record of any Calvert descendants having assumed the title as a
surname.
