Calloway
Meaning of Calloway
Calloway strolls in wearing a bright jazz-era grin and a gentle Southern drawl—a surname-turned-first-name that traces its roots back to the Norman French place-name Caillouet, “pebbly patch,” later filtered through England and carried across the Atlantic. Along the way it picked up a dash of swing thanks to legendary bandleader Cab Calloway, and today it feels equally at home on a golf green, a Brooklyn brownstone stoop, or a storybook page. Because it sits comfortably on boys or girls, parents often love the built-in flexibility, and the steady climb on U.S. charts hints that more families are tuning in to its easy musical rhythm. Calloway sounds like a friendly “hello” wrapped in three crisp syllables—KAL-oh-way—making it a choice that’s upbeat, polished, and just a little bit playful.
