Kalvert is English in Origin.

Kalvert is a modern respelling of Calvert, an English occupational surname turned given name. The name traces to Middle/Old English cealf “calf” and hierde “herdsman,” yielding the sense “calf-herder” or “keeper of calves.” As with many surname-names, it carries a sturdy, pastoral image while sounding crisply contemporary with the K-initial. Pronounced KAL-vert.

As a given name, Calvert saw occasional use in the 19th and early 20th centuries, buoyed by the prominence of the Calvert family of colonial Maryland (George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore). The Kalvert spelling surfaces more recently, reflecting modern preferences for K-initial variants and distinctive spellings. Variants and relatives include Calvert (standard), Calver (related surname), and the short forms Cal or Kal; Vert is rarer as a nickname. Usage today remains rare and primarily English-speaking, giving Kalvert a familiar-but-uncommon profile with the grounded meaning of a traditional herding occupation.
