Worldwide, Калым (Калым 
) is a rare principally masculine, but very infrequently girly first name. The forename Калым is habitual in Central Asia, particularly Kazakhstan, where it is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely girly name, and Kyrgyzstan, where it is a rare unisex name. Very seldom, Калым is the last name as well as the forename.
