Clorinda
Meaning of Clorinda
Clorinda derives from the Italian and Spanish adaptation of the Greek Chloris, meaning “greenish” or “the verdant one,” a name that evokes the tender shoots of early spring and recalls the warrior-maiden of Tasso’s Jerusalem Delivered. Though its appearance in U.S. Social Security records dates back to 1887—debuting at rank 259—and subsequently meandered mostly between the 600s and 700s, its modest popularity still prompts amused double-takes from census takers rather than resigned eye rolls. Pronounced kloh-RIN-duh (/kloˈrɪn.də/), Clorinda balances classical roots with a quietly bold character, offering parents who favor lyrical yet uncommon names a touch of poetic resilience, much like the evergreen cypresses lining a Persian garden at dawn.
