An uncommon Swedish pick — distinctive and rare.
a town and municipality of Norrbotten County, in northern Sweden
Kalix is a boy's baby name of Swedish origin, from the Kalix River in northern Sweden — one of the last unregulated rivers in Europe, flowing through pristine Arctic landscapes. As a given name, Kalix carries the wild, unspoiled beauty of the far north.
Kalix has a bold, Nordic sound with an X-ending that gives it a modern edge — a name from the edge of the world, carrying the vast quiet of Arctic Sweden.
Kalix has 16+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2005.
