Meaning & History
Latinized form of KLYTIË. It was used by British author Joseph Hatton for the heroine of his novel 'Clytie' (1874), and borne by Australian opera singer Clytie Hine (1887–1983); it was also the birth name of Australian ceramic artist Klytie Pate (1912-2010). American author William Faulkner used it for a minor character in his novel 'Absalom, Absalom!' (1936), in which case it was a diminutive of CLYTEMNESTRA, and Eudora Welty for the title character of her story 'Clytie' (1941).
