Kales is in Origin.

Kales is a rare modern given name in English, most often a surname-to-first-name transfer or a contemporary elaboration of Kale. Kale itself has multiple sources: in Hawaiian, Kāle is the local form of Charles, ultimately from the Germanic Karl 'free man'; in English usage Kale can also abbreviate Kaleb/Caleb, from Hebrew kelev, interpreted 'faithful, wholehearted.' As a given name, Kales begins appearing in U.S. data in the late 20th century and remains uncommon, favored for its crisp sound and modern -s ending.

Variants and related forms include Kale, Kael, Kayles, Kalen, Kaleb/Caleb, and Charles (via the Hawaiian link). Because Kales also occurs as a family name, bearers may trace it to Greek Kalēs (from kalós 'beautiful') or other regional surname traditions. Meanings therefore vary by pathway: 'free man' (Charles/Kāle) or 'wholehearted/faithful' (Caleb), with a general contemporary vibe rather than fixed etymology.
