Clarie is of French origin, derived from the word 'clair,' meaning 'clear' or 'bright.' It was popularized during the Middle Ages when it was used as a nickname for someone who had a clear complexion or bright eyes. Clarie gained further traction in the 19th century, with notable figures like Claire Bloom, an English actress, and Claire Trevor, an American film star, contributing to its enduring appeal.
"Claire has seen fluctuations over the years with a peak of 19 births in 1987 and recent lows of 5 births per year from 2013 to 2020."
