Clara

A Dictionary of First Names | 2006 | | Copyright

Clara ♀ Post-classical Latin name, from the feminine form of the adjective clarus ‘bright, famous’. In the modern English-speaking world it represents a re-Latinization of the regular English form Clare. It was made famous in the early 20th century by the singer Dame Clara Butt (1873–1936) and the silent film actress Clara Bow (1905–65), known as ‘the It girl’ (because, whatever ‘it’ was, she had it).
