Name Meaning
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).
