Clarice ♀ Medieval English and French form of the Latin name Claritia. This may have meant ‘fame’ (an abstract derivative of clārus ‘famous’), but as a given name it may have been no more than an arbitrary elaboration of Clara. It was borne by a character who features in some versions of the medieval romances of Roland and the other paladins of Charlemagne, and in recent times by the ceramic artist Clarice Cliff (1899–1972).

Variants: Clarisse, Claris (modern).
