Kaleb is just the simpler spelling of Caleb. Caleb is a character in the Bible. He was an early Israelite who set out with Moses from Egypt. He lived enough to get to the Promised Land. Etymologically, Caleb stems from the Hebrew word "Keleb" which means "dog". Maybe this name is chosen to refer to Caleb's devotion to God. The popularity of the name was initiated by the Puthe Titans. They created a costume of choosing the names of the less-known Bible characters. Caleb with a K is a very recent variation of this traditional name.

My name is Kaleb, I have never met another kaleb befour.
hello, im kaleb and im 13 haha haha haa wow im retarded
My son's name is Kaleb... he is about to be six... I love it! Yes I knew about Joshua and Caleb in the bible and think it just adds to the greatness of the name!
Get ready to put a line behind those C's, because its gonna be spelled like that often (My name'so yeah.)
Kaleb is a great name I just don't like the religious background of it. Religions don't do anything good, so I'll cross that name out of my list.
My nephew goes by this name. His mother wanted a girl to call Kala, after a heroin in a romance novel. I didn't realize that Kaleb with a "k" was so popular! Lucky him!
I named my son Kaleb who is now 3 1/2. I think it is a beautiful name and is very fitting to him!
My son's name is Kaleb but a lot of people make a mistake and thinks It's KALAN or Kalem. I always have to spell out his name. Very annoying at times.
Whats wrong with you people, naming your children'that. Its a dark evil name.
I love it! My sons Kaleb and my husband named him! But it is so fitting for my baby boy! Kaleb Anothny is his name!
Kaleb is a kings name. N my son is a king to me. :)
My son's name is Kaleb. Kaleb comes from Hebrew meaning tenacious and aggressive. There was a great and powerful king named Kaleb. My son definitely turned out tenacious and aggressive. He is a black belt in tae kwon do and is a state champion wrestler. Kaleb is a great name!!
Kaleb has proven'to be a great name for our oldest son. He is a true leader and yes people do tend to pronounce the name wrong, but he quick to correct. They say Kalob or Kalab. It is an honest mistake and dosen't bother him too much. When I named Kaleb in 94', I did not see the name as much as I am seeing it today. There have been a lot more using the name these days. The one thing that tends to really bug Kaleb is when people spell his name with a C instead of a K. I feel this only sets his name apart from other Caleb's.
my little brothe's name is kaleb and i love his name and so does he. its very unique and original, the way its spelled. he'said that there are only about 400 people with the name kaleb with a k. is that true❤️
I have a son named Kaleb who is 7 monthh old. The correct way to say his name is Kale-eb. I have heard everything but (almost). I hear kay-lib, Kay-lup, Kay-leb, Kay-lub which I hate the most. I have said he is not a lub and think of Kale. And no his nickname is not going to be Kay unless he is okay with that.
I can't wait to have a son and name him Kaleb Bryce! =-) Kudos to Caleb with a K! It looks better when It's written
This is what we're naming our daughter - we knew this would be her name before I even got pregnant! We have a 3 year old son named Orien (O-Ryan) and we always knew if we were to have a daughter her name would be Kaia. We just found out yesterday that we're expecting a girl and we're thrilled! Her name will be Kaia Nicole.
We named our son Kaleb when he was born in Dec. 2017 because of the powerful meaning that it has & It's also biblical.

My son was born in 2013. I had never met another Kaleb or caleb until 2020 when my son was in 1st grade and he made friends with another Kaleb a year younger. We are from a very small town under 4000 people. I named my son Kaleb because I am Karen and my eldest son is Kyle. As a mother I love the uniqueness of his spelling. However, at 7 years old he gets very frustrated at not being able to purchase items with his correct spelling so he has started purchasing things with the Caleb spelling. I don't mind he'll out grow that. At age 7 they just want to be like everyone else and to be so unique.
Well my birth name is Madison and I am male, but I hated it. I had my name legally changed to Jacob Ryan instead of Madison Ryan. Now looking back on it I see that Madison is really a boys name and a girls name, mostly a boys. I kinda regret having my name changed now, but I picked my name out and really love it. Doesn't it just sound so awesome "Jacob" or "Jake" my nickname.
Our son is 4 days old. Initially we had Lincoln and Kaleb picked out but when he was born on Monday he looked like a Kaleb! When I found out it meant faithful and brave (Hebrew)I thought what father wouldn't want such a name for his son! So to all you Kalebs stay faithful & brave.
Kaleb is a name of a king , n my son is along to me. Ha!
We decided to name our daughter Zelda as soon as we knew we were having a girl and now nothing else would fit her personality better than to bear that name. She will definitely make an impact on the world as an individual. I think it is a very strong name, much better than the norm.
My 8yr old son's name is Kaleb, Sometimes we call him Klove because he is so lovable. I have a friend whos son is also named Caleb, but It's spelt with a C so when we get toghether we have to identify them by the first letter of their names Kaleb with a K and Caleb with a C..

I named my son Kaleb on august 26, 2013. I had the name 'Jaxon' picked out but when I seen him for the very first time he looked like an angel or 'cherib' an the name Kaleb came to mind, and I have loved it ever'since. And he is my angel!
My husband is named Kaleb, & he was born in 1982. His name was unique back then, even clear up until about early 2002s, when lots of people suddenly started to name their boys Kaleb with a K, as opposed to the usual spelling with a C for Caleb.

My four month old son's name is Kaleb and he is proud of it.
I was born in 1996, so there are probably only a few (relatively) who had this name before me. It was chosen by my mother as a variant of the Biblical/Hebrew name "Caleb". The pronunciation is exactly the'same: Kālĕb, or Kāləb. However, I have been'told many times that "Kaleb" actually has a more natural connection to the way it is pronounced (which I find undeniably true). The pronunciation of my name by other people is generally correct, which is good. Though of its mispronunciations, Kălēb/Kýlēb (short 'a', long 'e') tends to stand out the most. The'spelling has about the'same ratio of correctness. Most often, the misspelling is forgivable phonetic (ex. "Kaylub"). I actually find it rare these days for people to mistakenly start my name with 'C'. Overall, I enjoy my name. The'spelling looks good, It'sounds good, and it (even in its 'C' form) is rather uncommon (a trait that'should be embraced by more of the world). The underlying meaning of the name is pleasing as well. I definitely give it a Thumbs Up! - Kaleb Grace - 2018
My name is Abner Kaleb since 1992, I like my name and I'met tow Calebs but Nobody else named Kaleb, I like the fact that is practically misspelled

My name is Kaleb and people often spell it with a "C" rather than a "K". Most often if I'meet someone with the name'spelled this way they are under the age of 10. I happen'to prefer the name'spelled in this way. It is unique and bold.

MY son's name is kaleb with a k I love this name it is perfect for him
I named my son Kaleb Ethan James on May 6th 2020. From the moment I layed eyes on him, I knew he was a Kaleb and 5 months later, I wouldnt have changed my choice for the world. He is the picture of the little boy with the orange tigger outfit laying on his Pooh Bear. Good choice I think... K is much better than C!
I love the name Kaleb so much I named my son it. It really suits him but I find people cant pronounce it correctly sometimes.

Hi im kaleb and i like to play football and play vido games. I was born in Bellingham WA.
Im naming my baby Kaleb i only know of one other one and he'spells his name with a C
This is my name and It's a bit of a challenge for most people. I was named in the 60's when it was less popular than it is today so people are becoming a little more used to it. I hat the way It'sounds in my native tongue of English, ek-ZAY-vee-yuhr. It's very harsh to my ear. The'spanish speakers who call me hahv-YAIR, and the French speakers who call me zahv-YAY, endear the'selves to me quickly.
