In common lisp, 'let' didn't evaluate it's bindings in any guaranteed order (well, it is specified as being evaluated in parallel), however, 'let*' evaluated it's bindings in order from left to right. This enabled you to use the sequentially previous bindings in the evaluation of later bindings in the same 'let*' init argument, (let* ((eval1 value) (eval2 (+ 1 eval1))) body_form). Clojure seems to have implemented 'let*' and as already mentioned put a wrapper around it so we could have the word 'let' :)
