Claramae Origin and Meaning

The name Claramae is a girl's name.

Claramae combines the classic name Clara, meaning 'clear' or 'bright' in Latin, with the traditional Mae, often used as a middle name derived from the month of May. This hyphenated-style combination name reflects a vintage naming pattern popular in the early 20th century. Claramae carries a sweet, old-fashioned charm that resonates with the recent revival of vintage names. Though never extremely common, Claramae had modest popularity in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s before declining. The name evokes images of Southern charm and graceful simplicity. Today, Claramae might appeal to parents drawn to the growing trend of reclaiming grandmother-era names with a melodic quality.
