The surname Callado originated in Spain during the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Spanish word "callado," which means "quiet" or "silent." This suggests that the original bearer of the name may have been a particularly reserved or taciturn individual.

The name first appeared in records from the region of Castile, specifically in the area around the city of Burgos. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name was in a legal document from the year 1389, which mentioned a certain Juan Callado.

As the name spread throughout Spain, it took on various spelling variations, such as Callao, Calado, and Calao. These variations were likely influenced by regional dialects and the preferences of scribes who transcribed the name.

In the 16th century, the name appeared in several historical documents related to the Spanish conquest of the Americas. For instance, a soldier named Diego Callado was listed among the troops that accompanied Hernán Cortés during the conquest of Mexico in the 1520s.

Another prominent figure was Bartolomé Callado, a Spanish painter and engraver who lived between 1568 and 1628. He is best known for his intricate etchings depicting scenes from daily life in Spain and Italy.
