The distinguished surname Clemence originated in the dynamic country of France. France has long been known for its powerful and eccentric royal dynasties. The surname Clemence is derived from the popular French given name, Clement, which is derived from the Latin word "clemens", which means "mild" or "merciful". This type of surname is known as a patronym, and comes from a broad class of surnames, called hereditary surnames. 1 Early Origins of the Clemence familyThe surname Clemence was first found in Poitou, where this family was established in early times.
