Although I can find instances of people with the first name of Clabe, I cannot find any history for it. Does anyone have any ideas as to its orgin and meaning? Thanks.

I found

Jones, Claborn "Clabe"
Birth : 1805 Virginia
Gender: Male
Parents:

and on this site
http://www.mccarterfamily.com/tree/b50.htm

Clayborn Baker (Clabe) McCarter was born in Apr 1879 in Virginia.53 He died in 1944.95 He was buried in McCarter Cemetery, Sugar Grove, Virginia.95 Parents: Levi Hickman McCarter and Evoline Greer.

So Clabe is used as a nickname for Claborn Clayborn by some people so could also be used as a full name

I have wondered if Clabe is a variant spelling of Caleb, but that is just speculation on my part.

Caleb is a well known name. I'm just coming across Clabe for the first time now. Personally i doubt if it could ever be a variant of Caleb.

Why do you doubt it as a variant of Caleb?
