Meaning & History
Meaning uncertain. This name might possibly be a pet form of given names that contain the Greek element καλός (kalos) meaning "beautiful" as well as "good, noble". Alternatively, it might be derived from Καλούδι Αιτωλοακαρνανίας (Kaloudi Aitoloakarnanias), which is the name of a mountain village in western Greece.With that said, this given name is extremely rare in modern Greece - one is much more likely to encounter it as a surname instead.Notable Greek bearers of this name include the retired volleyball player Kaloudis Alexoudis (b. 1961) and the soccer player Kaloudis Lemonis (b. 1995).
