Calub Origin and Meaning

The name Calub is a boy's name.

Calub is an alternative spelling of Caleb, a name with Hebrew origins meaning 'faithful,' 'devotion,' or 'whole-hearted.' This variant spelling gives the biblical name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation and heritage. In the Old Testament, Caleb was notable as one of the twelve spies sent by Moses into Canaan, and along with Joshua, he was one of only two adults permitted to enter the Promised Land after the Exodus. While the traditional spelling Caleb has enjoyed considerable popularity in recent decades, particularly in Christian communities, Calub remains a much rarer variant. This alternative spelling offers parents a way to honor the biblical figure and meaning while giving their child a slightly more distinctive name that stands out on paper but remains familiar to the ear.
