Klarysa
From Latin, meaning "bright, clear". So few Polish girls carry it that most people here will never meet one, and the handful of newborns each year keeps thinning.

What Klarysa means
Where Klarysa comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Klarysa grows from the Latin adjective clarus, which meant bright and clear. The Romans used that same word for a cloudless sky and for a carrying voice. In the name the sense stays near the surface, and the short meaning holds: bright, clear.
On a Polish class register, Klarysa sits a step away from the far more common Klara, its close cognate on the same Latin root. It is rare. The ending -ysa lends a formal, almost ceremonial ring, while clarus keeps its plain business of light. The two pulls, formality and clarity, live in one word.
The root did more than describe. Clarus fed the Latin verb clarare, to brighten and to make plain. A name built on it points two ways at once, toward seeing clearly and toward being clearly seen. Whoever signs Klarysa on a form at the urząd is writing, quite literally, a word for clear.
