Cloa is a unique, feminine given name of Latin origin. Derived from the word 'claudere', which means 'to close' or 'shut', Cloa is often associated with themes of enclosure and protection. This name gained popularity in recent times due to its distinctive sound and its connection to the Roman goddess of hearth and home, Vesta, who was also known as Cloacina. It is pronounced /kloʊ/. Spelling variations include Clöa and Cloè.
The name Cloa experienced fluctuations in popularity with peaks in certain years and a noticeable decline over time, as evidenced by the varying number of births recorded annually between 1906 and 1934, culminating in a total of 70 births during this period.
