Clement Family History
Clement Name Meaning
English, French, and Dutch: from the Latin personal name
Clemens meaning ‘merciful’ (genitive Clementis). This
achieved popularity firstly through having been borne by an early
saint who was a disciple of St. Paul, and later because it was
selected as a symbolic name by a number of early popes. There has also
been some confusion with the personal name Clemence (Latin
Clementia, meaning ‘mercy’, an abstract noun derived from the
adjective; in part a masculine name from Latin Clementius, a
later derivative of Clemens). As an American family name,
Clement has absorbed cognates in other continental European
languages. (For forms, see Hanks and Hodges 1988.
