Kallen

The name Kallen is a variant spelling of the Irish name Callan. The exact meaning and origin of Callan are uncertain, but it is thought to be derived from the Irish word 'caillín', which means 'young woman' or 'girl'.

Some sources suggest that Callan may have been originally used as a nickname or diminutive form of other Irish names beginning with 'Cal-', such as Calum or Callum. However, the connection to the word 'caillín' is more widely accepted.

While Callan is a traditionally masculine name in Ireland, the variant spelling Kallen may have emerged as a way to make the name more gender-neutral or ambiguous. Alternatively, it could simply be a modern adaptation or creative spelling variation.

Regardless of the specific meaning or origin, Kallen and its variants are associated with Irish culture and traditions. It is a unique and somewhat uncommon name that may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with an Irish heritage.
