klaff

Klaff is a name that can refer to multiple subjects. In onomastics, Klaff is primarily a surname of German origin. It is found among people of German descent and in diaspora communities, and may have arisen from earlier nicknames or descriptive terms used in German-speaking regions. The precise etymology is uncertain, with similar formations in other Germanic languages.

Klaff also appears as a place name for several small localities or geographic features in various countries. These places are typically minor settlements or cadastral entities and are not widely known outside their regions.

In fiction and media, Klaff is occasionally used as a character surname or as the name of fictional organizations or locations. Because the term can refer to multiple distinct subjects, it is common to rely on context to determine which Klaff is being referenced.
