Help your little one soar high above the clouds with the boy's name, Kallum. Related to Callum and Calum, Kallum is the Scottish Gaelic take on Columba, meaning "dove." The peaceful white bird is synonymous with the holy spirit in Christianity, and saints often used its Latin name. One example is Donegal's very own Saint Columba, who sailed from his Irish townland to build a monastery in Iona off the Scottish coast in the 6th century. As a bonus connection to the Emerald Isle, Kallum is commonly associated with coileán, the Irish word for "pup." We are sure your little Kallum will steal the spotlight as your very own source of puppy love!
