Original name of the village: Kelesent. The name of the village Kľačany was first mentioned in 1256. The then scribe wrote the name of the village as Kelechten and should be pronounced as Kelečten. According to several authors, this name has its basis in the word to germinate - ie to dig out the roots of cut trees, shrubs or to clean the cutting ground from the roots. This is probably how localities such as Kľačany, Kočovany, Klčovo, Klčov, Klúčové were created.
