History and Origin
Clare is a given name, the Medieval English form of Clara. The related name Clair was traditionally considered male, especially when spelled without an 'e', but Clare and Claire are usually female.
It is very often associated with the Irish County Clare. That name was derived from the Irish word ('Clár') given to a small bridge that crossed the river Fergus near the town of Ennis in what is now known as County Clare.
English: the normal vernacular form of Clara during the Middle Ages and since. The name has always been particularly popular in Italy (in the forms Chiara and Clara) and has been borne by several Italian saints, notably Clare of Assisi (c.1193–1253), an associate of Francis of Assisi and founder of the order of nuns known as the Poor Clares. In Britain the given name was probably reinforced by the Anglo-Irish surname, derived from a place in Suffolk. The surname was taken to Ireland by Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (d. 1176), known as ‘Strongbow’.
