Callista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Callista comes from the Greek for "most beautiful (fem.)" (καλλίστη - kalliste). It is an uncommon name for girls.

As a name it is derived from the Greek name of a huntress in the myth of Callisto, who was loved by Zeus. The name Callisto was changed to the common Callista for use as a name because in English Callista is the feminine form.
