Clara or Klara is a female given name. It is the feminine form of the Late Latin name ''Clarus'' which meant "clear, bright, famous". Various early male Christian saints were named Clarus; the feminine form became popular after the 13th-century Saint Clare of Assisi (called Chiara in Italian), one of the followers of Saint Francis, who renounced her privileged background and founded the order of Poor Clares. Clare was the main English form of the name used in the Middle Ages, but the Latin spelling Clara became more popular in the 19th century.〔(Clara ) at Behind the Name〕 ==People with this name== ;Ancient times * Aemilia Clara, a Roman woman who lived in the 2nd century * Didia Clara (born about 153), only child of the Roman Emperor Didius Julianus and Empress Manlia Scantilla ;Modern times * Clara Barton (1821–1912), pioneer American teacher, nurse, and humanitarian * Clara Bonde (1806-1899) Swedish courtier and royal favorite * Clara Bow (1905–1965), American actress * Clara Germana Cele, South African woman said in 1906 to have suffered demonic possession * Clara Chung (born 1987), a Korean-American singer/guitarist also known by her stage name, Clara C * Clara Haskil (1895–1960), a Romanian classical pianist, renowned as an interpreter of the classical and early romantic repertoire. * Clara Hughes (born 1972), Canadian athlete who has won medals in both the summer and winter Olympics. * Clara Immerwahr (1870–1915), German chemist and first wife of Fritz Haber * Clara Lee (born 1985; real name Lee Sung-min), South Korean actress * Clara Luper (1923–2011), American civil rights leader * Clara Maniu (1842–1929), Romanian feminist * Clara Morgane (born 1981), a French porn star and singer * Clara Rockmore (1911–1998), Lithuanian virtuosa of the theremin * Clara Schønfeld (1856–1938), Danish actress * Clara Schumann (1819–1896), German pianist * Clara Zetkin (1857–1933), German Marxist theorist, activist, and feminist 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clara (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
