Clara (first name)

Clara is a female first name.

Presentation

Clara comes from Latin clarus , will clara , " clear illustre". It is the version of origin of Claire, resulting from the Latin adjective will clara, white, brilliant, luminous, famous. Clara exists since the XVIIIe century in certain areas (South-western, Lorraine, Provence). But there had remained rare elsewhere. Since five or six years, it makes a remarkable opening: there is each year twice more Clara than of Claire. So much so that one can wonder whether this evolution will not allow the masculine, Clair, to make its reappearance. Clara is currently the first name more given, exceeding even Lea. Holy Clara celebrates on August 11th.
