Clois
Clois Origin and Meaning
Clois is a feminine name that likely developed as a blend of popular names like Chloe and Lois, or as a variation of Cloris. With potential Greek roots if derived from Chloe (meaning 'young green shoot'), the name has an interesting vintage quality. Clois saw modest usage in the United States during the early to mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon today. The name gained some recognition among fans of the Superman franchise, where 'Clois' became a portmanteau term referring to the relationship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane. With its short, distinctive sound, Clois offers simplicity while remaining uncommon enough to be distinctive.
