    Clarity

    Pronounced KLAIR-ih-tee

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Clarity does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Clearness; Brightness; Lucidity", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Clarity.
    Meaning
    "Clearness; Brightness; Lucidity"
    Origin
    English/Latin

    Clarity sees clearly — and now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. 'For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.' Clarity awaits the day of perfect vision.

    Spiritual meaning

    Clarity beholds with open face — glass becoming clear, image changing glory to glory, the lucid soul who shall know even as she is known.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
