Beautiful; cup or pod
Caly is often used as a diminutive of names like Calista or Calla, derived from the Greek word 'kallos' meaning beauty. It can also refer to the calyx of a flower, which is the protective outer layer of a bud. In modern usage, it serves as a simplified, airy alternative to more traditional 'Cal' names.
