An uncommon Latin pick — distinctive and rare.
Klair is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, a phonetic spelling of Claire, from the French/Latin clara meaning 'clear, bright, famous.' Claire has been consistently popular for centuries, carried by Saint Clare of Assisi, who founded the Poor Clares alongside Francis of Assisi.
The Klair spelling gives this luminous name a more distinctive visual identity while preserving its radiant, clear-voiced sound.
Klair climbed 6871 spots in the last 20 years — from #17543 to #10672.
