If Superman pops into your head when you hear the name Clark, that may be a sign you should consider it for your own little superhero. Clark has been around since long before Superman first flew in to save the day, with the name tracing its roots back to Norman England. As a masculine first name, Clark exudes strength and stability and means “cleric,” “clerk,” or “scribe” in Middle English. During the 1930s and 40s, movie star Clark Gable brought this moniker to the big screen. To this day, Clark is a charming choice for a little one who will change the world.
