Kalepah is in Origin.

Kalepah is a modern elaboration of the Hebrew biblical name Caleb (Hebrew Kalev), most likely via the contemporary spelling Kaleb and softened by an -ah ending. Its sense follows Caleb: from Hebrew kalev, literally “dog,” long taken as a symbol of loyalty and courage and often glossed as “faithful, devoted” or “whole‑hearted.” The form also resembles Hawaiian Kalepa, “merchant/trader,” though Kalepah itself is not a standard Hawaiian name; the final h is stylistic. Caleb is a prominent Old Testament name borne by a companion of Joshua.

Usage is rare and recent, mainly in 21st‑century Anglophone settings among creative respellings and occasional unisex choices. Variants and near‑equivalents include Kalepa, Kalebah, Kalepha, and Kaleba; core cognates are Caleb, Kaleb, and Kalev today worldwide.
