Meaning:
Beauty
Calla is a girl’s name of Greek origin, meaning “beauty,” and is the short version of the name Callista. Having last graced the popularity lists in the late 19th century, this charming name is wonderfully unique for an extraordinary soul such as baby’s. The calla lily flower embodies life, fertility, and purity, and in Ancient Greece, it represented magnificent beauty. But if you’re in need of more sacred ties, it’s also beloved in Christianity, often symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus Christ and featuring in paintings of the Virgin Mary and the Angel of Annunciation. Although short in length, this delightful name bears remarkable significance! No matter where baby derives the significance from, this name can enable them to see the beauty in everything life has to offer.
