CLARINDA.
An English elaborated form of Latin Clara
(q.v.), meaning "brightly fair."
(History of Christian Names,
Yonge, 1884)
... Clarice
was probably intended to mean making famous. A lady thus named was
the wife of Lorenzo de Medici, and France learnt it probably from her,
but made the c silent; and England, picking it up by ear, obtained Clarissa,
which, when Richardson had so named the heroine of his novel, was
re-imported into France as Clarisse.
Clarinda was another invention of the same date. (History of
Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
