Klaretta Origin and Meaning

Klaretta is a feminine name with Germanic roots, functioning as an ornate elaboration of the name Clara or Klara, which means 'bright' or 'clear.' The suffix '-etta' adds a diminutive, affectionate quality to the original name. While relatively uncommon, Klaretta carries an old-world charm that evokes images of European elegance. The name provides a more distinctive alternative to the more common Clara while maintaining its classic meaning and heritage. Klaretta peaked in popularity during the early 20th century but has remained relatively rare, giving it a unique quality for contemporary bearers. Its spelling with 'K' emphasizes its Germanic origins.
