Caledon is a gender-neutral name derived from Caledonia, the old term for Scotland. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the name as the Welsh, English, Scottish, and Irish can all put forward a good argument. The Proto-Celtic word kal and Welsh word caled, meaning "hard," provides Caledon's root and is thought to allude to the native people's endurance and steadfastness. Though not a common name, your little one shares Caledon with a character in one of the biggest films of all time. Billy Zane's portrayal of Caledon Hockley in Titanic was a powerful one, but baby will probably disapprove of his attitude. Sometimes shortened to Cal, it’s hard to deny the beauty and history of baby's new moniker.
