The god(ess) known as Caladril/Caladra is a married couple who are continually arguing. Every now and then their spats spill over from the godplane into the physical world causing eruptions. Locally the word 'calad' means 'firey argument'. Calandra is probably just the misunderstanding of some foreigner.
I've no idea if this is canon, but it sounds right and fun.
