Etymology
nb, ultimately from nb grc Καλλιστώ Kallisto; the most beautiful one. The Ancient Greek name is from grc κᾰ́λλῐστος most beautiful + grc -ώ female given-name suffix, literally “the most beautiful one”. The name was rendered in Latin as la Callistō. The Norwegian spelling nb Kallisto reflects the Greek form, while nb Callisto is used in Norwegian for the moon of Jupiter named after her. The asteroid 204 Kallisto no is likewise named after the mythological Kallisto.
