To me the name isn't a referent to Heidi's Klara, but refers to the fact that she sees clearly even though she doesn't necessarily understand what she sees. I think Klara's "growth" from perception, in its literal meaning, to her ability to interpret what she sees is what I think about most often. And with that ability to interpret she is becoming more human. She feels love, joy, loneliness, and sadness. She is so much more that a recorder of data. Life comes from enlightenment.
