In the entire world, Kalif (Kalif , Calife , Caliphe ) is quite a rare principally boy's, but very seldom female given name. The forename Kalif is characteristic of Somalia, where it is quite a rare male name, Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare male name, and Tunisia. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Somalia, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. Likewise, Kalif is the last name as well as the forename.
Kalif is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Kalif Harun al Raschid , the operatic character in the opera Abu Hassan and Kalif Bajar , the musical character in the musical Starstruck; a fallen aristocrat and schemer..
