Meaning & Origin
a male or (formerly) female given name from Hawaiian
Kaleo is a boy's baby name of Hawaiian origin, meaning 'the voice' or 'the sound,' from the Hawaiian word leo (voice, sound) with the definite article ka.
Deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture, where voice and oral tradition hold sacred significance, Kaleo carries a musical quality that feels both grounded and soaring. The name gained wider recognition through the Icelandic rock band Kaleo, though its Hawaiian roots make it most resonant for families connected to Pacific Island heritage.
