    Kallista

    Pronounced kah-LIS-tah

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Kallista does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Most beautiful; Fairest", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Kallista.
    Meaning
    "Most beautiful; Fairest"
    Origin
    Greek

    Kallista is most beautiful — and the beauty of holiness adorns God's people. 'O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.' Kallista's fairness comes from worshipping in holiness.

    Spiritual meaning

    Kallista worships in holiness — beauty divine, glory given, offering brought, the fairest who is beautified by the very act of bowing before God.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
