Klay

Klay comes from the Old English word 'clæg,' meaning 'sticky earth' or 'clay.' It’s a name that feels both grounded and creative, much like the substance it’s named after. Klay carries a modern, strong vibe, perfect for someone who is solid and dependable yet has a touch of artistry.

In terms of popularity, Klay made a significant leap in the late 80s, jumping 2918 spots between 1989 and 1990. Its highest position was #1628 in 2016, showing a rise in interest during that time. In recent years, Klay's popularity has waned a bit, with its latest rank being #2092 in 2024. It's never quite broken into the top 100 but has certainly had its moments in the spotlight.
