Kellogg Name Meaning

Scottish: of uncertain origin. Early forms such as de Kellock, de Keloche are evidently habitational names, perhaps from Keiloch in Aberdeenshire or Killoch in Ayrshire (see Killough). Scottish and northern English: from the Old Norse personal name Kjallákr, which is a borrowing of Irish Ceallach (see Kelly).
