Latin
Caligula, derived from Latin, was a nickname given to Gaius Caesar during his childhood, meaning 'little boot' or 'little soldier's boot.' It originates from the diminutive of 'caliga,' a type of Roman military footwear. The name is historically significant due to its association with the infamous Roman emperor, though it carries a whimsical and childlike tone in its literal meaning.
