Origin: Latin

Meaning: Cup; Most beautiful

Kalla is a girl’s name of Greek and Latin origin. It’s a variant of the Greek name Callista, from κᾰλός, meaning “most beautiful.” A fitting name for the little one who’s sure to be beautiful inside and out! In Greek mythology, Callista was a beautiful nymph who was turned into a bear, and then became the Ursa Major constellation. Kalla may also be a variant of the Latin name Calixta, deriving from calix, the chalice containing the wine of the Christian sacrament.
