Callum
Callum is a Scottish Gaelic name that commemorates the Latin name Columba, meaning 'Dove'. Callum was popular among early Christians because the dove was a symbol of purity, peace and the Holy Spirit. St. Columba was one of the most influential of the early Celtic saints. The name may also be spelled "Calum". Callum is a popular name, especially in Scotland where it was the 34th most popular name for baby boys in 2017.[citation needed]
