Name Meaning

Scottish (mainly Fife): habitational name from the lands of Killock (Ayrshire), or alternatively from Keiloch in Braemar (Aberdeenshire).

English: variant of Kellogg .

English: probably from the Middle English female personal name Ketelog, Kellok (Old Norse Ketillaug, from ketill ‘sacrificial cauldron, helmet’ + laug ‘(hot) spring, cauldron)’. It could alternatively represent the Old Norse male name Kiallakr, a borrowing of Old Irish Cellach (see Kelly ), but this Hiberno-Norse name is not recorded as a personal name anywhere in medieval England.
