Callie is a girl's name of Greek origin, most likely from the name Callisto, meaning “beautiful, lovely.” In Greek mythology, Callisto was a nymph and a maiden of Artemis, who attracted the attention of Zeus. Long story short, Callisto eventually became the constellation Ursa Major among the stars. Callie most likely comes from this name due to its shared meaning; however, some consider it a nickname for titles such as Caroline, meaning "free person," and Calliope, meaning "beautiful voice."
