Clora drifts onto the scene like a warm breeze through a sunlit courtyard—KLOHR-uh, a gentle melody of consonants and vowels that feels both timeless and fresh. Rooted in Latin as a graceful cousin to Flora, the ancient goddess of flowers, and echoing the Greek chloros, meaning “fresh green,” Clora carries the promise of new beginnings and dewy petals at dawn. In early 1920s Georgia, a handful of families fell for her charm—she even climbed to 148th place in 1923 and 1924—before slipping into delightful rarity. Today, Clora remains a quiet celebration of life’s unfolding beauty, a name that invites a child to bloom with warmth, vibrancy, and just a touch of vintage flair.
