Origin
Meaning and history of Klarity
The given name Klarity is a relatively modern construction, believed to have originated in the late 20th century. It is derived from the English word "clarity," which traces its roots back to the Latin word "clarus," meaning clear, bright, or distinct. The prefix "cl-" in Latin is related to the Proto-Indo-European root "*kla-," which is associated with concepts of being bright or shining.
While the name Klarity itself does not have a long historical lineage, its connection to the concept of clarity can be found in various philosophical and spiritual traditions throughout history. In ancient Greek philosophy, the idea of clarity was closely tied to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, with thinkers like Plato and Aristotle emphasizing the importance of clear reasoning and logical thinking.
Similarly, in various religious and mystical traditions, clarity is often associated with spiritual enlightenment, inner peace, and the ability to perceive the true nature of reality. The name Klarity may resonate with individuals who value these ideals and strive for a clear mind and a deeper understanding of life's mysteries.

In the realm of literature, Klarity was the name of a character in the novel "The Clarity Principle" by Kimberly Ann Giddens, published in 2011. The character embodied the concept of clarity and served as a guide to the protagonist on their journey of self-discovery.

FAQ
Klarity: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Klarity?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 222 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Klarity going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,543,938 US residents.
Is Klarity a common name?
We classify Klarity as "Very Rare". It ranks above 75.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 223 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Klarity most popular?
The single biggest year for Klarity was 2024, when 87 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Klarity is about 5 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Klarity in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Klarity a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Klarity in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Klarity still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Klarity in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Klarity can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
