The history of the last name Calub

The surname CALUB originated in the region of Calabria, located in southern Italy. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "calubus," which means "bald" or "hairless." This suggests that the name may have been initially given as a nickname to someone who was bald or had little hair.

The earliest known record of the name CALUB dates back to the 13th century, where it appeared in a document from the town of Cosenza, Calabria. During this time, surnames were becoming more widespread, and it was common for people to adopt surnames based on physical characteristics, occupations, or places of origin.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname CALUB was Giovanni Calub, a merchant from Reggio Calabria, who lived in the late 14th century. His name is mentioned in several trade records from that period, indicating that he was involved in the export of goods from the region.

In the 16th century, a notable CALUB was Antonio Calub, a scholar and philosopher from Catanzaro, Calabria. He wrote several treatises on logic and metaphysics, which were widely studied in academic circles at the time.

Another individual of note was Giulia Calub, a noblewoman from Cosenza, who lived in the late 17th century. She was known for her philanthropic efforts and founded a charitable organization that provided aid to the poor and orphaned children in the region.

During the 18th century, the CALUB surname began to spread beyond Calabria, as some members of the family migrated to other parts of Italy and Europe. One such individual was Francesco Calub, a painter from Naples, who gained recognition for his religious-themed artworks, which adorned several churches in the city.

In the 19th century, Giuseppe Calub, a military officer from Catanzaro, played a significant role in the Italian unification movement, fighting alongside Giuseppe Garibaldi's forces during the Expedition of the Thousand in 1860.

Throughout its history, the surname CALUB has maintained a strong connection to its roots in Calabria, with many bearers of the name still residing in the region or tracing their ancestry back to the area.
