Two Syllable Names for Boys

Kallum is a masculine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Callum, which derives from the Latin name 'Columba,' meaning 'dove.' This alternative spelling with 'K' emerged as parents sought distinctive ways to personalize traditional names. The original name Callum has Scottish and Irish Gaelic roots, where it was popularized due to St. Columba, a significant 6th-century figure who spread Christianity in Scotland. Kallum maintains the strong, concise sound of the original while adding a contemporary edge through its spelling. The name has gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries since the 1990s, appealing to parents attracted to Celtic heritage but wanting something slightly distinctive. Its straightforward pronunciation, strong sound, and positive peace associations make it appealing across diverse communities.
