Clarinda

Clarinda
Clarinda f
English: elaboration of CLARA (SEE Clara) with the suffix -inda (cf. BELINDA (SEE Belinda) and LUCINDA (SEE Lucinda)). Clarinda first appears in Spenser's Faerie Queene (1596). The formation seems to have been influenced by the name Clorinda, which occurs in Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata (1580), and is probably a similarly arbitrary elaboration of CHLORIS (SEE Chloris). Robert Burns (1759–96) wrote four poems To Clarinda.
