From clericus: in the Middle Ages the same word covered a clergyman and a literate man, because for a long stretch they were largely the same population.
By the time the name settled it meant a scribe or record-keeper as often as a churchman. Clarke with an e is the same name.
Bestow the name a title it never had
An honorific Lord or Lady certificate in the Clark name, hand-finished and sealed, with a square metre of Scottish woodland dedicated alongside it. A novelty, magnificently done — and a good deal more fun than a family tree.
