Clark

Explorer with Meriwether

Clark is a surname that became a given name, originally denoting a clerk or scholar—someone who could read and write.

As a first name, it peaked in mid-20th-century America, helped by actor Clark Gable.

The name retains associations with capable, no-nonsense masculinity: Clark Kent, Superman's unassuming alter ego, plays on this image.
