What is the meaning of the name Klari ?

The baby name Klari is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈklɑːri/ (KLAH-ree) — stress on the first syllable; sometimes pronounced /ˈklæri/ (CLAR-ee) in English contexts.

Klari is Estonian, Finnish, German, Latin in Origin.

Klari is a Hungarian pet form of Klára (often written Klári in Hungarian), derived from Latin Clara meaning “clear, bright, famous.” Through the veneration of St. Clare of Assisi in the 13th century, the Clara/Clare family of names spread widely across Europe; Hungarian usage of Klára followed with Christianization and became especially familiar in the 19th–20th centuries. Klari, dropping the accent, commonly appears in diaspora and English-language contexts as an independent given name. Pronunciation typically approximates KLAH-ree.

Related forms span many languages: Klára/Klara (Hungarian, Slavic, German), Clara and Clare (English), Claire (French), Chiara (Italian), and elaborations like Clarissa and Clarice. Diminutives and nicknames include Klárika (Hungarian), Klári, Clari/Clary, and Clarita (Spanish). The name is predominantly feminine. Cultural calendars often associate Klára/Clare with mid-August name days tied to St. Clare.
