About the name Kala
Kala 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, Kala first appears in Social Security records in 1943. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #462 in 1989, and in 2024 12 babies received the name — 7,670 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
