Clarence
Old-fashioned boy's name
Clarence is a masculine given name of English origin, derived from the Latin title for the Duke of Clarence, which itself comes from Clare in Suffolk.
It was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become less common.
The name carries a somewhat old-fashioned quality today.
Clarence was my grandfather's name.
A clarence is also a historical term for a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage with seats for four passengers inside.
