  1. No thought needed.  Clement/ Clements is an English family or line.. It is one of the surnames in my research.

    All you need to do for origin of a family (name) is to trace the person(s) back through records, to learn where they came from.


  2. French

  3. Clement Name Meaning and History

    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.)
