Clara or Klara is a female given name. It is the feminine form of the
Late Latin name Clarus which meant "clear, bright, famous". Various early male Christian saints were named Clarus; the feminine form became popular after the 13th-century Saint
Clare of Assisi (called Chiara in Italian), one of the followers of
Saint Francis , who renounced her privileged background and founded the order of
Poor Clares .
Clare was the main English form of the name used in the Middle Ages, but the Latin spelling Clara became more popular in the 19th century.
