Chiara

Chiara is a feminine given name of Italian origin, derived from the Latin word 'clarus' meaning 'bright', 'clear', or 'famous'.

The name has been popular in Italy for centuries, and it gained wider recognition due to St. Clare of Assisi, who was born Chiara Offreduccio in the 12th century.

In addition to its meaning of 'bright' or 'clear', the name Chiara can also be associated with qualities such as purity, radiance, and clarity.

While predominantly used as a feminine name, Chiara has occasionally been given to males as well, though this usage is less common.
