Talk:House of Colville (Colvin)

Jean Calvin

Jean Calvin's family has absolutely nothing to do with the Colville family. Jean Calvin was born Jehan Cauvin on July 10, 1509 in Noyon (Picardie) and died on May 27, 1564. It's not even the same name Cauvin is a Norman-Picard surname meaning "bald", like the French one Chauvin. Perhaps some Colvins were misspelled as Calvin in English speaking countries, it is possible, but it does not imply any relation with the family of Jean Calvin, whose real name was Jehan Cauvin.Nortmannus (talk) 23:36, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
