I have a female ancestor whose middle name is Caldonia. I would like to know the origin of that name.

Caldonia is one of the old names for Scotland, and was once quite popular for girls. It is still heard, on occasion, and there was a song in the 40s, about Caldonia.

There was also a Greek people the Calydons. Part of teh Hercules myth included the Great Calydonian (Caledonian) Boar Hunt. There seems to be a connection between these and am later imigration to Scotland. Check out "Caledonian Boar Hunt" on teh net.

It's probably a form of Caledonia which means 'from Scotland' it was very popular in the Edwardian and Victorian eras.

I am wondering if maybe you meant "Caledonia"?
Caledonia comes from Latin and it means "from Scotland".
