For a more liberating tone, Kallen can also come from the German or Scandinavian Karl, meaning “free man.” If you want to connect baby to nature, Kallen can also translate to “rock” or “boulder” in German, and can come from the Swedish Källén, meaning “source for spring water.” If you want to inspire baby to have the endurance of stone and the versatility of water, Kallen has a lovely ring to it.
