Many Callenius in Scandinavia
The name Callenius is present in Sweden and Finland. In Norway I have
not seen Callenius
family
members. One of my former colleagues in Finland told me once, Callenius
is a quite common name in Finland. O.k. in the telephone book of
Finland, the name Callenius is not really often.
The variance of writing the name is more variable in the nordic
countires compared to Germany. There you can find also Calenius, Källenius
etc. By the way, Ola Källenius who is a board member since 2015 of the
Daimler AG has his roots in Sweden (see pcitures, source: www.daimler.com).
If or how they are related to the German family members is totally open.
During a resarch at the archives of www.ancestry.com
and others, I have seen several Callenius members, which reach back to
mid of 18th century. So e.g.:
Finland:
Gabriel Callenius: oo 1767 with Kirstin Johansdr, a son is baptized in
Karjalohja Uusimaa
Maria Callenius: oo before 1755 with Thom Yleen, children are born in
Lammi
Anna Callenius: oo before 1819 with Johan Puuka, children are baptized
in Raisala Vipuri
Carl Callenius: lives 1841 in Liperi, Kuopio
Frans Callenius: lives 1890 in Kymi
Sweden:
Catharina Cecilia Callenius: oo before 1779 with Lars Högberg, children
are bapized in Stockholm
Joan Israel Christophersson Callenius: born 14.06.1765 in Stockholm
Carl Georg Callenius: born 1857 in Adolf Fredriks församling
The naming law resp. naming rules, e.g. in Sweden before 1900, were
extremely - let's say - unusual compared to Germany and are still very
free compared to the naming law in Germany.
