Meaning & Origin
Cayleb is a boy's baby name, a variant spelling of Caleb, from Hebrew origin meaning 'dog' (a term of loyalty and devotion) or possibly 'wholehearted.' In the Hebrew Bible, Caleb was one of twelve spies sent to scout Canaan, and one of only two (with Joshua) who gave an encouraging report and were subsequently allowed to enter the Promised Land.
Cayleb's spelling variation gives the beloved biblical name a more individualized look while preserving the same extraordinary meaning of wholehearted faith — a name of loyalty, courage, and the reward that comes from trusting fully.
