Makalee is of Hawaiian origin and means "calm". This unisex name gained popularity as a girls' name during the late 20th century, but it remains relatively rare, adding to its uniqueness. Pronounced ma-KAH-lee, this name consists of three distinct syllables, giving it a melodic rhythm when spoken aloud. The spelling with a 'K' instead of a 'C' or 'Q' adds a touch of originality and sets Makalee apart from other similarly sounding names.
"Makalee experienced a notable increase in popularity from 1997 to 2007, with a total of 53 babies named Makalee born during this period."
