Calogera is a surname and girl’s given name of Greek and Italian origin, and the feminine version of Calogero. Derived from the Greek elements kalos, meaning “good,” and geron, meaning “old,” or “old man,” it translates to “man with good old age.” It was used as a familiar term for a monk. The name is most commonly found in Sicily, where it was popularized by Saint Calogerus.
