Bald or hairless
Kalven is a modern variant of the name Calvin, which is derived from the French surname Chauvin. This surname ultimately traces back to the Latin word 'calvus', meaning bald. While the literal meaning refers to a lack of hair, the name has been associated with intellectual and theological depth due to its connection to John Calvin.
