History & Origin
Clovia is best read as a coinage, either from clover, the lucky field plant, or as a feminine of Clovis, the Frankish royal name behind Louis, meaning 'famous in battle.' Its exact source is uncertain. It appears only faintly in United States records, clustered around 1949, and was among the rarest names of its moment, given to only a handful of girls a year.
Because it sits so low in the records, the trail behind Clovia is thin, so confidence is modest. A girl named Clovia then would be in her seventies now. It reads as a soft, plant-and-old-royalty coinage of its era; it never spread and has not revived.
