Clora — girls' name

What the Data Says About Clora

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,800 babies named Clora between 1882 and 1973, spanning 92 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Clora currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1973. The name reached its historical peak in 1924, when 49 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Clora performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 401 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Clora shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Alabama, which accounts for 41 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Georgia and Kentucky. In total, SSA state-level files list Clora in 10 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Clora in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,800 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
