Clarity is an English word name meaning "clearness" or "lucidity", from the Latin clarus, the same root as Clara and Claire. It joins virtue names like Serenity and Harmony that American parents rediscovered in the 2000s. Clarity has stayed rare, hovering around number 2500 to 3000 for a decade, and reaches number 1759 among girls' names in 2025, its highest rank so far.
