Calibor is in Origin.

Calibor is a rare modern masculine given name that likely arose as a creative blend. The first element echoes Arthurian Caliburn, the Latinized name of King Arthur’s sword, itself traced to Welsh Caledfwlch meaning “hard cleft” or “strong breach.” The second recalls the Slavic name-forming element -bor, “battle; fighter,” from Proto-Slavic boriti “to fight.” Read together, Calibor carries the evocative sense of “battle blade” or “fighter of the sword,” suggesting fortitude, valor, and resolve.

Usage is very limited and contemporary, with no evidence of medieval or traditional onomastic roots; it appears sporadically in English-speaking records in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Variant spellings include Kalibor and Calybor; stylistic relatives are Caliburn and Excalibur, as well as Slavic -bor names like Boris and Borimir. Short forms and nicknames may include Cal, Cali, and Bo. A feminine adaptation, Calibora or Kalibora, is occasionally proposed.
