How popular is Clélia around the world?

Clélia has no published row in the national Social Security baby-name files from 1880 through 2025. Those files omit name-and-sex counts below five, so there is no popularity curve to chart and no basis for saying the name was never used. In France, about 35 girls named Clélia were born in 2025, the 984th most common name among girls that year.

Clélia is on the official records of France, Austria, England and Wales and Spain.

Births in France by year of birth, from INSEE’s fichier des prénoms (1900–2025; Mayotte from 2012); exact spellings count separately (Léo and Leo are different names), any spelling under 3 in a year and sex is withheld at source, every count is rounded to the nearest 5 at source, and nametree keeps the spellings that reached 20 in some year. Shares divide by INSEE’s count of births in France from 1957, and before that by the file’s own total for the year; INSEE says the file is not complete before 1946. This registry counts each spelling separately; the figures above are for the exact spelling Clélia, and accented spellings are separate names.
