Comments for the name Clematis

Comments for CLEMATIS:

In ancient Greek "klema" means "twig" but mainly of the grapevine. The name Clematis possibly derives from the ancient Greek names Klematia (f), Klematios (m).

Sorry, but this name reminds me of a disease.

I pronounce this name "KLEM-ə-tis" or "KLE-mə-tis" - emphasis on the first syllable, as in Clementine. I prefer it to "klə-MAT-is", the one given, which sounds like the words chlamydia and climactic. "klə-MAH-tis" would be better also, softer and more feminine in my opinion.

The gorgeous Clematis flower symbolizes mental beauty and art. So I imagine a girl named Clematis would be fiercely intelligent and a brilliant, gifted artist.

Sorry, but I don't like this name. It sounds snobbish and makes me think of "chlamydia", as well as "clitoris".
