Brand Name
The name “Kalma” is derived from the Filipino word “kalma,” meaning calm or relaxed. According to the brand, the name reflects its mission of helping people experience greater comfort and tranquility through what they wear. The pronunciation is “calm-a.” [2]
History

Over time, the company expanded from baby essentials into coordinated family collections that include women’s pajamas, men’s loungewear, toddler clothing, matching family sets, blankets, towels, and accessories. It also broadened its retail presence through major Philippine marketplaces and department stores. [1]
