What is the meaning of the name Kallola ?

The baby name Kallola is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced {'ipa': '/kəˈloːlə/', 'respelling': 'kuh-LOH-luh (kah-LOH-lah)'}.

Kallola is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Kallola stems from Sanskrit kallola (कल्लोल), an echoic term evoking the gurgle and roar of water. Its core meanings include “wave,” “billow,” and “surge,” along with the joyous “clamor” or “tumult” of music and celebration. The word appears in classical poetry to conjure the sound and motion of rivers and the sea, and in several modern Indo‑Aryan languages (notably Bengali and Odia) it still conveys lively, rippling movement and resounding joy.

As a given name, Kallola is used in India and the diaspora, with a graceful, lyrical aura. It is sometimes treated as feminine due to the final -a, yet functions as a unisex choice in practice. Variants and related forms include Kallol (a common masculine form), Kollol/Kollola (regional spellings), and the scholarly transliteration Kallolā. The name’s imagery suggests vivacity, musicality, and an uplifting, wave-like energy.
