Why do you phone call Calf Muscles on the leg "Calf Muscles"?

Why do people phone up it like that? It comes from the mature Norse kalfr which is from the old Germanic galbr goal swelling - the "calf" of an animal comes from its "swelling" or pregnancy, and the "calf" of a leg is the swollen part at the bottom. Notice they use the residence "calf" for a little iceberg breaking stale from a bigger iceberg or glacier - something the Norse would be emminently familiar near.
I had them transplanted from a immature cow
for the same they call for the head on a human being the head.
