Clark
English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a memb erof a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clercd enoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c?Utpriest?Uu , reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latinclericus, fro m Greek klerikos, a derivative of kleros ?Utinheritance?Uu,?Utlegacy?Uu, with r eference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy)?Utwhose inheritance w as the Lord?Uu. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy inminor orders were p ermitted to marry and so found families; thus thesurname could become e stablished.
