Caufield Family History

The names Caufield and Caulfield in Ireland are often an anglicized form of the native Gaelic Sept name Mac Cathmhaoil which is more often anglicized as McCall. Other descendants bearing this name are of Anglo origin, especially as a prominent Caulfield family settled in Ulster where the majority of descendant families can still be found.

A Sept is an ancient form of a Clan and is a group of people whose ancestors all bore the same surname and inhabited the same locality.
