In ancient Greece the word mainly used for beauty was κάλλος not ομορφιά. So I guess you are looking for κάλλιστος (m) καλλίστη (f). Nowadays Kallisti is still used as a name, while Kallistos was used as a name mainly in Byzantine Greece, when the word for beautiful was slowly replaced by εύμορφος, later έμορφος, till todays' όμορφος.

Answer 6

'Kalos' is the main Greek word for "beautiful." It is actually related to our English word "holy" even though the English word has a different meaning. Linguists call this kind of phenomenon when a word changes its meaning "semantic shift."

Kala Christouyenna! is "Merry Christmas!" in Greek. Literally, "Beautiful Christmas!"
