Originating from Hawaiian roots, the name Kale is often associated with strength and resilience, much like the Hawaiian kalo plant, which is a staple of traditional Hawaiian culture. However, its variant Kalep offers a unique twist, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their child. Pronounced 'KAH-leh-p', this name consists of three syllables, each with its own rhythm and flow. While not as commonly used as Kale or other Hawaiian names like Leilani or Makani, Kalep stands out due to its rarity, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a uncommon yet meaningful moniker.
The name Kalep has seen fluctuations in its popularity over the years, with a peak of 9 births in 2001 and a recent uptick to 6 births in both 2010 and 2013. Overall, there have been 67 births between 1992 and 2013.
