Dog or whole-hearted
Kalyb is a modern creative spelling of the Hebrew name Caleb. In the Old Testament, Caleb was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses into Canaan, known for his faith and courage. The name is derived from the Hebrew word 'kelev', which literally translates to 'dog', often interpreted symbolically as 'loyal' or 'whole-hearted'.
