Caledvwich is in Origin.

Caledvwich is an antiquarian, Anglicized rendering of Welsh Caledfwlch, the name of Arthur’s sword in early Celtic lore. From caled “hard” + bwlch “cleft, breach, notch,” it conveys “hard cleft” or “strong breach,” by extension “hard‑cutting blade.” The v and -wich reflect older habits: Welsh f is pronounced v, and w was often written u/v; modern Welsh standardizes Caledfwlch.

The name appears in the medieval Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen and influenced later retellings: Geoffrey of Monmouth Latinized it as Caliburnus, which Old French transformed into Escalibor and the familiar Excalibur. A related Celtic parallel is Old Irish Caladbolg. As a given name, Caledvwich is a contemporary, very rare choice; possible short forms include Cal. Variants: Caledfwlch, Caliburn/Caliburnus, Escalibor, Excalibur.
