the name caliya
The word ‘caliya’ means beauty, originating from Greek. The Mediterranean is vibrant inspiration source, so it was only fitting to choose a business name that fit with those origins. Caliya is also a play on letters taken from her full name, Caity Clarkson.
Caity witnessed the beauty of the Mediterranean during her travels in 2017, where she experienced firsthand it's incredible architecture and design, particularly in the north mediterranean region of Morocco.
