Clora
Clora Origin and Meaning
Clora is a feminine name with Latin roots, likely derived from 'chloros' meaning 'green' or 'pale green,' which has connections to flora and growth. It can be considered a variant of Clara or Chloris, the latter being the Greek goddess of flowers. Historically, Clora saw modest usage in the United States particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but has since become quite rare. The name has a vintage charm that aligns with the renewed interest in rediscovering classic names from previous generations. With its soft sounds and botanical associations, Clora offers a delicate alternative to more common flower-inspired names. Though uncommon in contemporary use, it might appeal to parents seeking a name with historical presence, natural connections, and a gentle, feminine quality that remains distinctive without being difficult to pronounce.
