Kal-el

Kal-El is Superman's Kryptonian name, invented by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938 as the birth name of the superhero. Some theorize that it relates to Hebrew characters with the meaning "voice of God", while others give the meaning as "son" or "Earth one".

At least one Earthling baby has received the name: the son of actor Nicolas Cage.

Pronounced KAL-el.
