Calipso Origin and Meaning

The name Calipso is a girl's name.

Calipso is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Calypso, which comes from Greek mythology. In Greek legends, Calypso was a sea nymph who fell in love with Odysseus and kept him on her island for seven years. The name derives from the Greek word 'kalypto,' meaning 'to conceal' or 'to hide.' This alternate spelling gives the name a more distinctive, modern appearance while maintaining its mythological roots. While not among the most common names, Calipso offers parents a choice with exotic flair and cultural depth. The name evokes images of the sea, mystery, and enchantment, appealing to those drawn to names with mythological significance and melodic sounds.
