Meaning of Names

Betty
English: pet form of Elizabeth, dating from the 18th century. Cognate: Scottish Gaelic: Beitidh. Elizabeth..The usual spelling of Elisabeth in English.
Elisabeth
The spelling of Elizabeth used in the Authorized Version of the New Testament, and in most modern European languages. This was the name of the mother of John the Baptist (Luke 1: 60). Etymologically, the name means ?USGod is my oath?UT, and is therefore identical with Elisheba, name of the wife of Aaron, according to the genealogy at Exodus 6: 23. The final element seems to have been altered by association with Hebrew shabbath sabbath.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507
www.ancestry.com

Lou
English: short form of Louis or, less commonly, Louise.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507

Louise
French and English: feminine form of Louis, introduced to England in the 17th century. Short form: English: Lou.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507

Louis
French: an extremely common French name, of Germanic origin. It is composed of the elements hlud fame + wig warrior, and is thus etymologically the same name as German Ludwig. From the early Middle Ages onwards, it was very frequently used in French royal and noble families. An archaic Latinized form of the name is Clovis, and this is the form generally used for the Frankish leader (?466-511) who ended the Roman domination over Gaul: Clovis defeated rival Germanic tribes, married the Burgundian princess Clothilde, and founded the Frankish monarchy in what is now France. In 496 he and his followers were converted to Christianity. Louis I (778-840) was the son of Charlemagne, who ruled both as King of France and Holy Roman Emperor. Altogether, the name was borne by sixteen kings of France up to the French Revolution, in which Louis XVI perished. Louis XIV, ?USthe Sun King?UT (1638-1715), reigned for seventy-two years (1643-1715), presiding in the middle part of his reign over a period of unparalleled French power and prosperity. See also Ludwig.

In modern times, Louis is occasionally used in the English-speaking world (usually pronounced /lui/). In Britain the Anglicized form Lewis is rather more common, whereas in America the reverse is true. Both forms have been used as Anglicized versions of Gaelic Laoiseach and Lughaidh. Cognates: Scottish Gaelic: Luthais. Italian: Luigi, Lodovico. Spanish, Portuguese: Luis. Catalan: Lluis. Basque: Koldo. German: Ludwig.

Short form: English: Lou.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507

Clark surname
English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a member of a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clerc denoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c ?Utpriest?Uu, reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latin clericus, from Greek klerikos, a derivative of kleros ?Utinheritance?Uu, ?Utlegacy?Uu, with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy) ?Utwhose inheritance was the Lord?Uu. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy in minor orders were permitted to marry and so found families; thus the surname could become established. In the Middle Ages it was virtually only members of religious orders who learned to read and write, so that the term clerk came to denote any literate man.
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4

"a derivative of kleros ?Utinheritance?Uu, ?Utlegacy?Uu, with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy)"
Levy
Jewish (Ashkenazic and Sephardic): from the Biblical personal name Levi, from a Hebrew word meaning ?Utjoining?Uu. This was borne by a son of Jacob and Leah (Genesis 29: 34). Bearers of this name are Levites, members of the tribe of Levi, who form a hereditary caste who assist the kohanim (see Cohen) in their priestly duties.

Son of Alexander Porter Clark and Frances A. Jones Clark, he was known by his family as "Babe". He married Ida May Chiles October 28, 1897 in Ellis County, Texas. They had the following children: Walter Clark, William Floyd Clark, Edwin Porter Clark, Harvey Clay Clark, and Fannie May Clark. Little Fannie passed away just two weeks after her mother Ida died on November 13, 1904.

"Babe" married the second time to Lettia M. Roberts Aldridge, widow of George Franklin Aldridge. "Babe" and "Lettie" had the following children: James Ewell Clark and J. B. Clark.

This memorial is posted in memory of "Babe's" granddaughter, my mother Betty Lou Clark Tune, an only child who knew so little about her Clark family. Mama, you'd be happy to know I've got your Clarks all the way back to the late 18th century in North Carolina to Diana, Giles, Tennessee.

May you rest in peace great grandfather. Love, Gloria
