The word stratus comes from stratum, the word in Latin that means layer.

The word cirrus comes from Latin which means hair.

Unfortunately, I do not know how cumulus got its name, but I do know how cumulunimbus got its name.

The word nimbus or nimbo is often added to the names of clouds that produce rain or snow. Nimbus means cloud in Latin.
