Klíma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Klíma (feminine: Klímová) is a Czech surname. It originated as a pet name of the given names Klement and Kliment, but there is also a theory that some bearers of the surname got it from the verb klímat, which used to mean 'to hesitate', 'to laze around'.[1] An Anglicized and Germanised form of the surname is Klima.
