History & Origin

Kaylub is a phonetic respelling of Caleb, the Hebrew name borne by the faithful companion of Joshua in the Bible, usually read as whole-hearted or faithful. As Caleb climbed the American charts, respellings like Kaylub appeared at its margins. This form is very much a spelling variant rather than a name with a separate history.

Kaylub was always very rare, given to only about twenty boys a year at its late-two-thousands peak. A boy named Kaylub then is a teenager today.

Did you know? Kaylub rode the strong popularity of Caleb in the two-thousands, when a fashion for spelling names as they sound turned a handful of Calebs into Kaylubs.
