So the question is- why would one-L
Calista
be the dominant/preferred spelling if both of the names it could be derived from have two Ls?
Most likely, it was introduced to American society through a celebrity or prominent fictional character. Names that are adopted simply as namesakes are rarely checked for historical precedence.
