Kalixto Origin and Meaning

The name Kalixto is a boy's name.

Kalixto is a masculine name that represents a variation of Calisto or Callisto, which derive from the Greek word 'kallistos' meaning 'most beautiful.' In Greek mythology, Callisto was a nymph who was transformed into the constellation Ursa Major. The spelling with 'K' and 'x' gives the traditional name a modern, distinctive flair while maintaining its classical roots. Kalixto remains uncommon in most countries but has occasional usage in Spanish-speaking regions and among families seeking distinctive names with historical depth. The name has a melodious, rhythmic quality with its three syllables and exotic sound combination. Its mythological connections lend it a sense of timelessness and narrative richness, while its unusual spelling offers a contemporary edge that helps it stand out among more common classical names.
