About Kellogg
The Kellogg surname — these days associated with cereal and the Northwestern University business school — has rather grotesque origins. It is derived from the Middle English word kellen, meaning "to kill" or "to slaughter," and hog, "pig." Thus, it was an occupational name for a pork butcher.
Pronounced KEL-awg.
As of October 2026, Kellogg ranked #4500 for boys in US births in 1927 SSA.
