Whole or heart; also a short form of Caleb
Cale is primarily used as a modern diminutive of the Hebrew name Caleb, meaning 'whole-hearted' or 'devotion to God.' It can also be linked to the Gaelic surname Mac Cathail, meaning 'son of Cathal' (battle ruler). In contemporary usage, it stands alone as a sleek, single-syllable choice.
