What Does the Name Maryclare Mean?
Maryclare is a compound given name made from Mary and Clare. Mary comes from the Hebrew name Miryam, whose origin is uncertain; proposed explanations include Hebrew marah ("bitter") or a related root meaning "rebellious," but no single derivation is established. The devotional title "star of the sea" (Latin stella maris) is a later Christian interpretation of Mary, not the name's literal etymology. Clare is the English form of the Latin Clara, from clarus, meaning "clear," "bright," or "famous." In the compound, the two names keep their separate meanings.
Maryclare Name History & Origins
The name Maryclare belongs to the English practice of double names that join Mary with a second name. Mary has been used in England since the Middle Ages, having entered English through the Latin Maria and Greek Mariam from Hebrew Miryam. Clare is the English form of the Latin Clara; it is closely associated with St. Clare of Assisi (Chiara Offreduccio, 1194 - 1253), founder of the Poor Clares. In Catholic naming, Mary was often given as a first name, and a second name such as Clare could honor another saint. The run-together spelling Maryclare is a modern written form of that double name; the elements are also commonly written Mary Clare or Mary-Clare.
