Etymology of Clarot

What does the name Clarot mean?

The Clarot surname was created from the French personal name Clair, which is in turn derived from the Latin word "clarus."

Early Origins of the Clarot family

The surname Clarot was first found in Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy, where the family has been a prominent family for centuries, and held a family seat with lands and manor. The family were well established in the region of Calvados and several members of the family distinguished themselves through their contributions toward the community in which they lived and were rewarded with lands, titles and letters patent confirming their nobility. Their earliest domain was the honor of Clare and the first on record was Sir Roger de Clere who held lands at Blainville at Clere. Some of the family originated in Clermont, in the Haute-Savoie and the Sarthe 1
