Klement Origin and Meaning

The name Klement is a boy's name of Czech origin.

Klement is a masculine name that represents a variation of Clement, derived from the Latin 'clemens' meaning 'merciful' or 'gentle.' This spelling with a 'K' is more common in Eastern European countries, particularly Slovenia, Croatia, and other Slavic nations. The name carries historical significance through various Pope Clements and Saint Clement of Alexandria, an early Christian theologian. While the 'C' spelling is more prevalent in English-speaking countries, the 'K' version offers a distinctive alternative that maintains the original meaning and heritage. Klement combines strength and compassion in its meaning, with a solid consonant opening that gives it a strong masculine quality while its definition reflects gentler virtues.
