Klarice Origin and Meaning

Though uncommon in this exact spelling, Klarice shares the sophisticated, refined quality of its traditional counterparts. The name has literary connections through works like Thomas Harris's character Clarice Starling and the medieval saint Clarice. While never reaching high popularity rankings, Klarice appeals to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but a contemporary twist, offering the beautiful meaning and melodic sound of Clarice with a unique orthographic presentation.
