I thought somewhere I had read "handsome" but can't find it anywhere.

Is it pronounced Cale - um or Cal-um ??

Callum is the Scottish form of COLUMBA, isn't it? (The Irish being Colm or Collum)

It's pronounced exactly as it looks --Cal-um.

Callum/Calum
Derived from the Latin "columba" meaning "dove" and of course St Columba, the 6th century saint who established the Iona community and converted large parts of Scotland to Christianity. It was the 28th most popular name for a boy in 1999.
