The Clabber Girl name brand comes from the word clabber which means clabbered milk (sour milk). Back in the early 1800s, people mixed clabber with pearl ash, soda, cream of tarter and a few other ingredients to make what we know today as baking powder.

The 1st baking powder brand by hulman and company was the "Milk Brand". In 1899 it was changed to the "Clabber Brand". In 1923 the company had to change the name to "Clabber Girl".

The name "Clabber Girl" comes from the clabbering process in baking, which refers to curdling or souring milk to create a natural leavening agent. Clabbered milk was traditionally used before the introduction of commercial baking powder. The brand Clabber Girl, known for its baking powder, honors this historical baking technique in its name.
