Sweet and sunny but substantial too, Callie is a nickname-style choice that has long been used as a stand-alone option . Traditionally a diminutive of classic Caroline, it may also be used for Calliope, Camila, Callista, Calanthe, and beyond.
 
Callie was a Top 200 choice in the late 19th century and remained in the US Top 1000 right up until the 50s. After a brief hiatus, it returned in the 70s, and has risen slowly but steadily back to the Top 200 in recent years. Also popular in England and Wales, Australia, and Scotland, a recent year saw it given to 1700 babies in the US.
 
As a short form of Caroline, Callie would mean "free man"; from Calliope, it would mean "beautiful voice". The Greek element kallos means "beauty", which could provide a simple meaning. 
 
Other spellings include Kali, Cali, and Kallie, which all rank in the US charts, while spin-offs include Caliana and Kaliyah.
