      The name Klarise is a variant of Clarice, which itself is derived from the Latin name Clarus, meaning bright, clear, or famous. This name carries connotations of brightness in personality and character, suggesting qualities such as clarity of thought, transparency, and a notable presence.

The variant appearance of Klarise in English-speaking contexts emerged as a modern adaptation, reflecting shifting naming trends over time. Clarice gained popularity in the early 20th century, influenced by literary and cultural figures, and Klaryse is noted in various forms across European languages, each with its own historical significance.
