Kellum

Meaning of Kellum

Kellum is a spirited nod to Celtic heritage—pronounced KEH-luhm—a surname-turned-first name that quietly carries the Old Irish ceallach, “bright-headed” or “warrior,” right into the nursery. Though it only pops up about half a dozen times a year in the U.S., that rarity makes it feel like a hidden gem, perfect for parents craving something both rooted and refreshingly distinct. Imagine your little Kellum forging his own path with a name that hints at ancient hills and bold adventures, yet fits seamlessly on today’s playground. Warm, strong and just off the beaten track, Kellum invites you to give your son a legacy wrapped in friendly confidence.
