Meaning & History
Derived from Sanskrit काल (kāla) meaning "time, age", likely morphed from the original spelling Karki taken from the word कर्क (karka) meaning "white horse". This is the name of the prophesied final avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu who will appear at the end of the Kali Yuga (the current and last of the four world ages) to usher in the Satya Yuga (the first and best of the world ages) and the destruction of the universe. He is described as a man wielding a fiery sword and riding a white horse.
