Claromentis – What’s in the name??

Despite having what seems like 30 different search engines running on my local PC, and having manually searched endless drives and folders for a file I still can’t find, I did come across a document that I created during the first few weeks at Claromentis.

It’s titled “The meaning of CLAROMENTIS”

And surprisingly enough, it actually contains some content.

I managed to find two translations of the word…

Latin Version:
Claro
claro : to make bright or clear, make clear in the mind.
clarus : clear, bright / renowned, famous, illustrious

Mentis
mens mentis : mind, thought, intention, intellect.

Thus: Claromentis = “Clear Mind” orĀ  “Clear Intentions” or “Clear Thinking”

English version…..

Claro : A mild tobacco cigar
Mentis : Intellectual

Thus: Claromentis = “The Intellectual Mild Cigar”

However I interpret it, I always end up with a relaxed phrase or meaning.

Whilst the word “Claromentis” itself has no true meaning, I know it means a great deal to a collection of people around the world.

I’d really like to hear interpretations, view and opinions from other people about our company name, so please get commenting on this.

This isn’t market research, we won’t be changing our name any time soon, and there are no prizes for the best comment… but it should be fun.

    How some people spelt the name ‘Claromentis’ ?
    This is what I’ve heard so far: ‘Cle-mon-tis’, ‘Cle-men-tis’, ‘Cla-ro-mens’, ‘Cleo-men-tis’,

    Some facts:
    Clementi – is a town in Singapore
    Clematis – from Ancient Greek klematis, a climbing plant
    Clementine – a variety of mandarin orange

    If you type ‘claromntis’ or ‘claroments’ Google is going to suggest: “Did you mean Claromentis”.
