Klar is Scandinavian in Origin.

Klar draws on the Germanic and Nordic adjective klar, "clear, bright, ready," a form ultimately linked to Latin clarus, meaning "clear, illustrious, famous." As a given name it reads as a sharp, contemporary distillation of the Clara/Clare tradition, keeping the core idea of clarity and renown while shedding ornament. Because it is a transparent word across several European languages, Klar feels international and is used as a rare unisex choice.

Documented mostly in modern given-name records, the name echoes older usage through its cognates: Clara and Klara (German, Slavic, Scandinavian), Klára (Czech and Hungarian), Clare, Clair, and Claire (English and French), and Italian Chiara. Klar also appears as a Central and Eastern European surname of German and Yiddish origin meaning "clear," a source that occasionally inspires its adoption as a first name. Variant spellings such as Klaar or Klear are rare.
