Cahlah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Cahlah

What is the meaning of the name Cahlah ?

The baby name Cahlah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɑːlə/ (KAH-lah),/ˈkeɪlə/ (KAY-lah).

Cahlah is Gaelic in Origin.

Cahlah is a rare modern feminine name, typically pronounced KAH-lah, that most closely tracks to Calla, the English given name taken from the calla lily and ultimately Greek kallos, “beauty.” As with other floral and virtue-tinged names popularized in the late 19th century, its appeal lies in a simple, lilting shape paired with graceful imagery. The spelling with h lends a softer, vintage look while keeping the same sound.

Some parents also read Cahlah as echoing Hebrew Kallah (כלה), “bride,” or as a creative recasting of Calah, the biblical place name linked to the Assyrian city later known as Nimrud (Genesis 10). Usage appears chiefly in recent English-language records and remains uncommon. Related forms and variants include Calla, Calah, Kala, Kalla, and Cahla; Callie is a familiar nickname. Overall meanings associated with the name cluster around “beauty,” the calla lily, and (by association) “bride.”
