Meaning & origin

Cloria is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1915, though it never reached the top 1000. Its peak year was 1934, when it was given to a small number of girls, and it has remained stable in obscurity since. The name is most likely a variant of the more common Gloria or Clara, both of Latin origin. With no top states and a decade profile centered in the 1930s, Cloria evokes a vintage feel without widespread use. Its one-in-N statistic is not available due to its rarity, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with familiar sounds.

Cloria is a rare English given name that first appeared in the early 20th century. It is most likely a variant of Gloria (Latin for 'glory') or Clara (Latin for 'clear, bright'). Its usage peaked in the 1930s but has since become very uncommon.
