Kalli is a gender-neutral baby name with Sanskrit, Hindi, Hawaiian, and German origins. Kalli is a great title for those seeking to pay homage to their Eastern roots or their Hindi-speaking relatives with its Hindi meaning of “the black one.” Besides this definition, the name Kalli most commonly means “tomorrow” in Sanskrit, a little reminder for baby to keep setting goals, helping them look forward to tomorrow. This name may also have strong Hawaiian roots, meaning “hesitating,” as well as German roots, meaning “free man,” which can give baby a little nudge to believe in themselves no matter what.
