Klaire Origin and Meaning

The name Klaire is a girl's name.

Klaire is a modern feminine variant spelling of Claire, which comes from the Latin 'clarus' meaning 'clear, bright, or famous.' This contemporary spelling substitutes the traditional 'C' with 'K,' giving the classic name a fresh, distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. Claire has been consistently popular across Western countries for centuries, and this variant offers a way to honor that tradition while adding uniqueness. Klaire began appearing more frequently in the early 2000s, coinciding with the trend toward alternative spellings of classic names. Though still relatively uncommon compared to Claire or Clare, Klaire appeals to parents seeking names with traditional roots but contemporary presentation.
