History & Origin
Clariece is an ornamented spelling of Clarice, which comes from Clarissa and ultimately the Latin clarus, 'bright' or 'clear.' The -iece ending gives it a soft, French-flavored finish. It belongs to the wider Clara family of luminous, clarity-themed names.
Clariece was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1932, and it thinned out by mid-century. A girl named Clariece then would be in her mid-nineties today.
