History & Origin

Kaliann is a modern American blend. Its opening is the Kali or Callie sound familiar from Callie and Kaylee, and its ending is -ann, from Anne, which descends through Latin and Greek from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace, favour.' Attaching -ann or -anne to a shorter name was a favourite mid-century American practice that produced Julianne, Maryann and Roseann alike. The route to this exact spelling is uncertain (said 'KAL-ee-an').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, tidy, and modern.

Did you know? The -ann that closes Kaliann comes from Anne, which goes back to the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favour.'
