Most beautiful
Calise is a modern variation likely derived from the Greek name Callista or the name Calista, meaning 'most beautiful'. It may also be influenced by the French word 'calice', meaning chalice or cup. In recent years, it has gained some attention as a creative, phonetic variant of more established Greek-rooted names.
