One of the first 83 departments established during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790 in

accordance with the statute of 22 December 1789 was Calvados. It was formerly a part of the Normandy
province. It was once suggested to be called "Orne-Inférieure," but was ultimately given the name
Calvados after a collection of rocks off the coast.

One well-known myth attributes its etymology to the Salvador, a Spanish Armada ship that went down
in 1588 off the coast of Arromanches-les-Bains. The name Calvados was most likely derived from the
Latin calva dorsa, which means "bare backs," in reference to two poorly vegetated rocks off the beach.
