Name Meaning

English: habitational name from Kilby in Leicestershire. The placename derives from Old English cild ‘child’ (genitive plural cilda) + Old Norse ‘farmstead, village’, with change of initial Ch- to K- due to Scandinavian influence. There may have been some confusion with Kelby .

History: Christopher Kilby (1705–71), merchant and government contractor of the colonial era, was born in Boston, MA, as was his father, John. According to family tradition, his grandfather John was born in 1632 in Hertfordshire, England.
