About the name Cale
Cale belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Cale first appears in Social Security records in 1917. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #596 in 1984, and in 2024 37 babies received the name — 8,160 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
