Kalista

Kalista comes from the Greek word 'Kallisto', meaning 'most beautiful', and is steeped in mythology. Kallisto was a nymph famously transformed into a bear and placed among the stars as Ursa Major. This gives Kalista an air of elegance and mystery, as if it carries the night sky within its syllables. The name feels both timeless and transformative, much like the mythical stories it is rooted in.

In terms of popularity, Kalista made a significant leap in 1992, jumping 5502 spots, showing a burst of interest in the early '90s. It reached its peak ranking at #1094 in 1999, but it never quite made it into the top 100. More recently, it has seen a decline, with a rank of #3746 in 2024. Interestingly, it took a noticeable dip in the early '80s, dropping from #5572 to #9237 in just a year.

Kalista carries a sense of elegance with a touch of mystery, making it a beautiful choice for those who appreciate names with a mythical and transformative quality. It feels both classic and unique, perfect for someone who wants a name that stands out while also having a rich backstory.
