Not sure how we came up with the name but love that it means beautiful. Also liked that it’s not a super popular name and that it has the double L’s since my name also has double L’s. Also just felt like it fit her well, waited to fully decide on her name until she was born!

Callie is a traditional girl name with English, German, French and Greek roots. For now, it is a streamlined form of Carolina, Caroline or Charlotte, which are finally derived from Charles. It is used for a jovial and strong girl.
