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).
