Calliandra
Meaning of Calliandra
The name Calliandra, pronounced as /kæliˈændrə/ in English, is a distinctive and melodious choice for a baby girl. This unique name derives from the Greek words "kallos," meaning beauty, and "andros," referring to man or male, but has evolved in its usage to connote feminine charm intertwined with strength. While it remains rare—evidenced by its low occurrence and ranking in recent U.S. newborn data—it offers a rich floral association through the Calliandra genus of flowering plants known for their vibrant, feathery blossoms. Often nicknamed "Callie," this name provides both a strong connection to natural beauty and an appealing softness, making it a captivating option for parents seeking something both unusual and poetic.
