Cleoma is a unique and uncommon female given name of French origin, derived from the Occitan word "clau," meaning "key." The name has been historically used in France but has gained some international recognition due to figures like Cleoma Breaux, an early Cajun musician who was one of the original members of the band Balfa Brothers. The name Cleoma is also known for being used in the American television series "True Blood," further increasing its visibility. With only a few occurrences worldwide, Cleoma remains an unusual and distinctive choice for a girl's name.
"Cleoma was quite popular in 1929, with five little girls named."
