Calixto Name Meaning
Spanish and Portuguese: from the Latin personal name Calixtus from Greek Kallistos from kallistos ‘most beautiful’ the Latin spelling apparently influenced by Latin calix ‘cup’ (with specific reference to the cup containing the wine of the Christian sacrament). The name Calixtus was borne by several early popes of whom the first (217–222) was canonized.
