Kálmán is an ancient Germanic origin Hungarian surname and male given name. Outside Hungary, the name occurs sometimes in the form Kalman. It was derived from the Germanic name: Koloman, Coloman or Kolman. The Germanic name Coloman has been used by Germans since the 9th century.
Kalman ( in Yiddish and Hebrew, occasionally spelled Calman in Roman letters) is also a Yiddish given name that is a short form of the Greco-Jewish name Kalonymos (, meaning "beautiful name", a reference to a miracle worked in God's name). Sometimes the long form and short forms are used together, as in the compound name Kalman Kalonymos. A nickname for Kalman is in Yiddish Kalma or Kalme.
