Callia: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2025.
Callia is a name of Greek origin, derived from *kallos* meaning “beauty,” and is often considered a modern variant of Callie or a feminine form of the ancient name Callias (itself from the same root). While no widely known historical or contemporary bearer immediately comes to mind, the name shares its etymological root with the calla lily, a flower symbolising magnificence and beauty. Though no prominent place bears the name, its melodic, gentle sound has made it a quiet favourite among Scottish parents in recent decades, occasionally appearing as a spelling variant of Calia or Kahlia.
